About this concert
Brothers Franz and Georg Benda belonged to the small army of top musicians that Frederick the Great had assembled at his court in Potsdam. Il Pomo d'Oro, flautist Anna Besson, violinist Evgeny Sviridov and harpsichordist Francesco Corti make contrast and drama sizzle in various concertos by the Bendas, and also drop in on J.S. Bach, who ventures into the same territory with his concerto for flute, violin and harpsichord.
