Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment - Campra, Fischer, Bach, Rameau

William Christie conducts the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment at Birmingham's Symphony Hall in five colourful Baroque orchestral suites by Bach, Campra, Fischer and Rameau.

Live from Birmingham's Symphony Hall, William Christie and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment present a colourful programme from every corner of the Baroque world. Two of Bach's glorious orchestral suites anchor the concert, but there's also "exotic" music from Jean-Philippe Rameau, a Frenchman dancing his way through Carnival season in Venice, and a salute to the coming of spring - all performed with Christie's ravishing sense of colour and inimitable rhythmic verve. Presented by Stuart Flinders.
