For 35 years, the Freiburger Barockorchester has belonged to Europe's foremost ensembles focusing on older music. As the name indicates, they have their main focus on the Baroque, but often also play pieces from the Classical era and also the Romantic period. The ensemble is led by one of the greatest baroque figures, the German conductor and baroque violinist Gottfried von der Goltz. When the orchestra now visits the Concert Hall, German and Italian baroque music is on the program. Alongside giants such as Corelli, Vivaldi, Telemann and Handel, we also hear an oboe concerto by the lesser-known Giovanni Benedetto Platti, and it is music with lustre, graceful elegance and poignant intensity. During his lifetime, Francesco Geminiani was as respected as Corelli and Handel. In his Concerto grosso, a small group of virtuoso soloists interact with the entire orchestra. The music is based on an old dance tune, La Follia, which was common during the 16th and 17th centuries.
