Beginning with an improvisation on the English ballad Greensleeves and ending with the sublime music of J. S. Bach,
Baroque violinist Penelope Spencer delves into the fascinating world of the music and personalities of Baroque violin composers. Who were these virtuosos and why did they compose music for solo violin in an era dominated by the famous basso continuo? Isn't a solo violin without accompaniment like a tree without roots – or perhaps not?
Penelope Spencer sheds light on the mystical world of Jesuit brotherhoods, international virtuosos who were actually spies, and possible hidden layers of meaning in the music of J. S. Bach. In a special programme that she has developed over many years, she presents the sublime music of Bach and his predecessors.
