Barnabás Kelemen & Arcangelo Presented by Liszt Academy

Jonathan Cohen founded Arcangelo early music ensemble in 2010 with the objective of performing – using a chamber music approach – masterpieces of the period spanning the years from Monteverdi to Beethoven. Their Budapest programme promises to be a real journey through time and space. First, they perform a concerto by their namesake Arcangelo Corelli who worked in Rome, then they carry us off to Salzburg: the 10-part Battalia sonata by Biber from the second half of the 17th century originated in this Austrian city, as did the ‘younger’ Haydn’s G major violin concerto dating from a century later. After the intermission, we shift across to West Europe: after the suite by German Telemann with Spanish theme, the French Leclair’s violin concerto with Italian overtones is performed by Barnabás Kelemen, who displays his skills in the Baroque and classical repertoire.
