The Il Pomo d’Oro focus ends in a blaze of 18th-century celebration:
exuberant Baroque and Classical cello concertos framed by orchestral
music bursting with pageantry, invention and joy. 18th-century
audiences loved music that dazzled the ear – and instrumentalists,
as well as singers, vied to perform unheard-of technical feats. This
is music that demands theatricality, and Il Pomo d’Oro are
performers who never stint on that. Nor does the young French cellist
Edgar Moreau. Le Figaro acclaimed his ‘effortless virtuosity and
dynamic performances’ and together they’ll sparkle, with
Moreau’s grace and élan making a near-perfect foil for Maxim
Emelyanychev’s extrovert style, ending the Il Pomo d’Oro focus
with a flourish.
