Info for Handel: Water & Fire

B’Rock is sparkling more than ever! As the court composer, Handel arranged a majestic water festival with scintillating sounds on the Thames. His Water Music is musical pomp and circumstance in three high-spirited suites. Handel also displayed his most festive side in his Music for the Royal Fireworks. Blaring brass and precise drumrolls make the work joyful and stately, entirely in line with the royal fireworks that powerfully and colourfully marked the end of the War of Austrian Succession.

Vivaldi’s concertos are in their turn nothing less than fireworks on the violin. They are virtuoso, full of imagination and extravagant – especially when performed by Dmitri Sinkovsky. With the energy, charisma and dizzying technique of this top Russian violinist you will be on the edge of your seat.

B’Rock Orchestra is one of today’s most forward-thinking period orchestras with a desire for encounter and exchange. The ensemble returns to Pentatone after having released Schubert’s complete symphonies with conductor René Jacobs between 2018 and 2022, as well as Antwerp Requiem c. 1650 (2022). Dmitry Sinkovsky, who is now mainly conducting the great opera repertoire, is always happy to return to his artistic roots: Baroque music.
