Beverley & East Riding Early Music Festival

Ashley Solomon directs the ensemble Florilegium at Beverley Minster in Bach's Brandenburg Concertos as part of this year's Beverley & East Riding Early Music Festival.

Ashley Solomon directs the ensemble Florilegium at Beverley Minster in five works by JS Bach as part of this year's Beverley & East Riding Early Music Festival.

The first half consists of three of his Brandenburg Concertos, sent as a collection of six to the Margrave of Brandenburg in 1721. They perfectly demonstrate his mastery in combining different sets of solo instruments, showcasing violas and viola da gambas (Brandenburg 6), 9 solo string parts (Brandenburg 3) as well as the unusual combination of harpsichord, flute and violin (Brandenburg 5). The second half offers further solo opportunities for violinist Bojan Cicic and flautist Ashley Solomon in two of Bach's most popular instrumental works.

During the interval, you can also hear highlights from two further concerts recorded at the festival by young European ensembles: Sarbacanes and Prisma.
