Interview
Mark Padmore and Bernhard Forck in conversation and in rehearsal The Berlin Baroque Soloists with an Anglo-Italian evening
“A perfect blend of ‘modern’ playing with ‘historical’ awareness,” was how the magazine Gramophone described the Berlin Baroque Soloists, which counts members of the Berliner Philharmoniker among its recruits. In this concert, they explore the fascinating relationship between English and Italian composers of the 17th and 18th centuries. The performers include the tenor Mark Padmore singing arias by George Frideric Handel.
