7. Sinfoniekonzert by Stravinsky, Magnard, Poulenc, Various, Sun 28 May 2023, From (2023/2023), Conductor Fabrice Bollon, Händel-Halle, Halle, Germany

When asked what he thought of Pergolesi, Stravinsky replied: »Pergolesi… oh yes, Pulcinella!!!« And Poulenc, who admired Mozart's music as much as »Pulcinella«, like Stravinsky, created an equally humorous one for Diaghilev and his Ballets Russes Ballet, »Les Biches«, congenially combining Mozart, jazz and »Pulcinella«. And since we are dealing with baroque music with relish and almost Dadaistically, the Rameau pastiche by the eternally original Albéric Magnard should not be missing. A baroque concert of a very special kind, at the center of which Albrecht Mayer, principal oboist of the Berlin Philharmonic, presents popular and stylish Handel arrangements - as a reference to Handel and his Halle Festival.
