Music of the Baroque

Thanks to Lawrence A. Johnson and Chicago Classical Review for a wonderful review of "Mozart's Summit." As Johnson said of the Jupiter Symphony, "Skillfully paced with ideal tempos throughout and generous with repeats, Glover gave the work its full scale, mining the expressive potential of each movement. The Andante cantabile was especially fine, Glover’s shaping of the phrases conveying the sense of subsumed tragedy beneath the Rococo elegance." Onto something completely different with "Vivaldi & Beyond" October 18 & 19. baroque.org/vivaldiandbeyond
