Arcangelo with Iestyn Davies (countertenor), Jonathan Cohen (director)

Countertenor Iestyn Davies is much sought-after on concert and opera stages across the world, famed for his glorious tone and engaging performance style. He joins award- winning instrumental ensemble Arcangelo and Director Jonathan Cohen for an evening of Baroque masterpieces.

In this elegant programme, Bach’s Violin Sonata in G and Telemann’s Viola Concerto are flanked by excerpts from Bach’s vocal cantatas, from the lilting obligato of Wie Starb die Heldin so Vergnügt to the gentle call to restfulness of Schlummert ein.

‘Director Jonathan Cohen and his ensemble Arcangelo capture the rapid unexpected twists of the younger Bach’s radical imagination.’ BBC Music Magazine
