Founded 40 years ago, Concerto Köln is one of the outstanding protagonists of early music. It's a good thing that it's not far from Duisburg - and that the ranks of the Duisburg Philharmonic also include seasoned experts in musically informed performance practice. This creates ideal conditions for an extraordinary encounter in a concert that brings together well-known and lesser-known masterpieces by composers of the 17th and 18th centuries. Examples such as those of the Italian Antonio Vivaldi, the German Georg Friedrich Händel, the Frenchman Jean-Philippe Rameau, the Bohemian Jan Dismas Zelenka and the Englishman Henry Purcell show that the whole of Europe was shaken by the enormous musical developments of this period. Some of these masters have their say with "vocal specialties" - with arias from operas or sacred works - or, like the piano pioneer Domenico Scarlatti, with pieces from their instrumental oeuvre. The name of countertenor Valer Sabadus, another guest from Cologne, also shines as brightly as his voice.
