Portland Baroque Orchestra
Vivaldi’s flauto dolce
Monica Huggett, director and violin
Matthias Maute, recorder
Works by Antonio Vivaldi, including:
Concerto in D major, RV 208 for violin, Il Grosso Mogul
Concerto in B flat major RV 375 for alto recorder
Concerto in G major RV 443 for soprano recorder
Chamber Concerto in A minor RV 108
In Vivaldi’s time, there were two kinds of flutes - the transverse, held like the modern flute - and the "sweet flute," or flauto dolce in Italian, which we call the recorder.
Guest soloist Matthias Maute from Germany will explore the sweet tones of this ancient instrument while dazzling us with some of the 18th century’s most virtuoso instrumental music. Monica will astonish us in turn with one of Vivaldi’s most bravura violin concertos, Il Grosso Mogul.
