“We bring the music to life, as if it was composed yesterday and played for the first time today.” Baroque ensemble Concerto Copenhagen makes its Carnegie Hall debut under the leadership of Lars Ulrik Mortensen. They perform their lively reading of J. S. Bach’s First Orchestral Suite, which Gramophone has praised for its “startling clarity” and “freshness ... a sense of swing fueled on joy,” as well as an enduring trio sonata by Handel. In what will be an exceedingly rare opportunity to hear the works performed live, the ensemble also presents selections from Muffat’s eclectic, woefully overlooked Armonico tributo chamber sonatas, which they recorded to great acclaim in 2022, winning the coveted Diapasond’Or.
