Entitled "Opera in Musica, the new release features volinist Fabio Biondi and members of his Europa Galante ensemble — violinist Andrea Rognoni, violist Stefano Marcocchi, and cellist Alessandro Andriani.

Encounters: York Early Music Festival with Tudor motets, Elizabethan viol music, baroque cantatas and the madrigal re-imagined
Encounters, this year's York Early Music Festival at the National Centre for Early Music (NCEM) took place both live and online.

This carried over into Scottish Opera's film of another late Romantic masterpiece by Wagner's pupil Humperdinck. Dance was another theme, whether Baroque with the AAM or more modern with the lively young people of W11 Opera whose lockdown creation of Jukebox was full of verve. W11 Opera's Jukebox was an imaginative solution to the problem of creating opera with young people during lockdown. By mining the company's back catalogue (it celebrates its 50th anniversary this […]
