As appealing as a solo concerto is, isn't a double concerto twice as interesting? Two soloists who pass the ball to each other, who compete, outdo each other, who come together for a pas de deux? This evening, two are simply twice as good: the soloists of the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra. Three concertos for two solo instruments are on the programme, composed by the baroque trio of Bach, Telemann and Vivaldi. Of his 50 or so concertos for two instruments, Vivaldi only composed one for two trumpets, a solitaire in the extensive catalogue of works by the virtuoso Venetian. Bach's double concerto BWV 1043 was also a one-off piece - anyone who writes for two writes exclusively. The evening will be led by the British harpsichordist and conductor Jonathan Cohen, who has made a name for himself not only with his own ensemble Arcangelo. He has toured with the Academy of Ancient Music as well as with William Christie's ensemble Les Arts Florissants, which has now appointed him Associate Conductor. Franz Schubert's Mozart-like 5th Symphony, probably the most mature of his early symphonic works, will be the delightful finale of this Baroque+ program.

Bertramstraße 8

Brass summit at Deutsche Bahn. Precious metals come together when trombone, trumpet & co. meet in the Silver Tower of Deutsche Bahn. And when a magnificent quintet from the Frankfurt hr Symphony Orchestra can be experienced at lofty heights, not only musical highlights are guaranteed. With a perspective more than 150 meters away from everyday life, all visitors to this chamber fibrillation on the top floor of the high-rise also gain new practical dimensions.
