Summertime at Springhead by Various, Da (2020/2020), Direttore d'orchestra John Eliot Gardiner

This open-air concert took inspiration from previous performances at Springhead during the 70s and 80s, and showcased music which made a significant impression on John Eliot Gardiner during his adolescence, and led ultimately to the founding of the Monteverdi ensembles. Members of the Monteverdi Choir, English Baroque Soloists and Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, alongside soloists Lucy Crowe and Julia Doyle, braved strong winds and sporadic downpours to perform music by Handel, Monteverdi, Brahms, Debussy and Purcell beside Springhead’s idyllic lake.
