Vox Luminis live from Wigmore Hall

Available for 27 days

Linton Stephens showcases the best performances by BBC orchestras, choirs, ensembles and other great performing groups from Europe and around the globe. The week begins with a live concert from London’s Wigmore Hall, given by renowned Baroque vocal group Vox Luminis, who, along with the Freiburg Baroque Consort, perform music by three members of the Bach dynasty. Included in today's concert is Johann Sebastian’s Wedding Cantata, BVW196. Throughout the week, we are spending time in the spectacular Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, with a series of recordings made in the eye-catching 2017 concert hall, a cube of glass perched atop a redbrick cocoa factory in the middle of the River Elbe. Today, Sakari Oramo conducts the hall's resident ensemble, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, in music by Verdi and Elgar. 1pm Live from Wigmore Hall, London. Introduced by Hannah French.
