Carnegie Hall Presents

Baroque Unlimited

The spellbinding performances on this series demonstrate to audiences just how passionate and virtuosic Baroque music can be. Arcangelo and Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra perform early music staples by Handel and Bach, Europa Galante breathes new life into Vivaldi’s wind concertos, and Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin explores the influence of J. S. Bach on his composer-sons.
