The 2011 Auckland Arts Festival presents:
HANDEL WITH CARE, Lautten Compagney (Germany)
Take this rare opportunity to delight in one of the world’s most outstanding period ensembles, The Lautten Compagney – a Baroque Ensemble from Berlin, founded by lutenists Wofgang Katschner and Hans-Werner Apel.
The first of two concert (see also Lautten Compagney: Timeless) Handel with Care presents music from operas and oratorios of Georg Fredrich Handel and Henry Purcell, including Handel’s Rinaldo and Amadigi and Purcell’s Fairy Queen and King Arthur.
“The musicians who have grouped together ... not only perform early music in its diversity and vitality but also know how to add the fresh colour of improvised elements to a pristine sound experience.”
- Fuldaer Zeitung (GERMANY)
