Baroque Music in Concert from Concerto Copenhagen

Unique concert performances including Concerto Copenhagen at the Lammermuir Festival and choral Stanford from ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ NOW.

Mark Forrest showcases unique concert recordings from home and abroad, including the award-winning Danish Baroque orchestra Concerto Copenhagen at the recent Lammermuir Festival. Mark selects highlights from three recitals.

Elsewhere, Classical Live's orchestra-in-focus the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ National Orchestra of Wales joins forces with the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ National Chorus of Wales to perform Charles Villiers Stanford's epic 'Te Deum in B-flat, Op.66' in this his anniversary year. Far grander in scale than his earlier liturgical settings of the same text, Stanford's concert Te Deum in B-flat was premiered at the 1898 Leeds Festival by a chorus of some 350 singers, marking the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria.
