Another candle-lit concert at Exeter College chapel. Marini, Paquini, Frescobaldi, Ruggieri, Corelli, Rossi, Buonamente, and Vivaldi. A pair of baroque violins and Kah-Ming Ng on harpsichord - Charivari Agreable.Kah -Ming Ng explained a little about the various pieces, describing one as "Latino dirty dancing", which spread from the Iberian peninsula " faster than syphilis". He propped up his over sized sheet music for one piece with a padded envelope. And Bojan Cicic, a violinist, knocked his music off the stand in his exuberance. He started to read it as it lay on the floor, but an audience member who was seated in the choir stall right behind him picked it up and restored it to its rightful place - all without missing a beat.
These concerts are delightful.
