Michala Petri with baroque trio
The world-renowned Danish recorder player plays Bach, Corelli and Handel with her baroque trio.
For this concert, Michala Petri will perform with her baroque trio, playing works by Corelli, Bach and Handel.
Musically related composers on the programme
The Italian composer Corelli was a great influence on both Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel.
Handel visited Corelli in Italy, where they made music together and discussed which violin technique was the best and most correct. Handel's Concerti Grossi op. 6 is directly inspired by Corelli in both form and compositional technique.
Similarly, Bach, without having met Corelli personally, was inspired by Corelli's style in his solo concertos. In honour of Corelli, Bach wrote the "Fugue on a Theme of Corelli", which is also played in this programme.
