PROGRAM
Andrew Manze, Baroque violin; Richard Egarr, harpsichord
The liberating influence exerted by Italian music on European composers from the Renaissance through the 17th and 18th centuries changed Western music ever after. This week on Saint Paul Sunday, the great Baroque violinist Andrew Manze and his longtime harpsichord colleague Richard Egarr trace this special impact: first as it came to inspire Handel and Bach, then in the often-ecstatic fluency it assumed in the music of Pandolfi and Corelli.
MUSIC PLAYED IN THE PROGRAM
- George Frederic Handel: Sonata in A major, Opus 1, No. 3
- J. S. Bach, arr. Manze: Toccata and Fugue in d minor (transposed to a minor)

Unfortunately, I often need reminding that music does not follow a linear path of evolution. After developing "structures" and "rules," music of the 21st Century is not necessarily more experimental than music of, say, the 17th Century. Baroque violinist Andrew Manze and harpsichordist Richard Egarr are the perfect reminder for me this week on Saint Paul Sunday. (more)
