Hear Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment play (Attilio Ariosti) ‘March of the Dead’.  You might recognise this piece and the playing from when it was featured on the TV series The Crown.

Fresh. Sparkling. Wear a kilt.

Who’s on stage
Blessed (or cursed) with one of the more unusual names in classical music, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment perform things as the composer intended, or as close as possible. Because, over time, instruments, playing techniques and styles of performance have changed. So by going back to original instruments, or replicas, and researching performance techniques you get just a little bit closer to what the composer intended. They’re joined on stage by one of their favourite collaborators, pianist and conductor András Schiff.

Period Sound
Wonder what that actually sounds like? It’s a subtle shift. Perhaps a bit more direct, maybe tiny bit less refined, definitely a lighter and more airy sound than a modern orchestra. Only one way to find out really…

What they’re playing
It’s a feast of music by Felix Mendelssohn, including one of most famous pieces, the Scottish Symphony.
