Arcangelo & Nicolas Altstaedt

Arcangelo & Nicolas Altstaedt

Presented by Saffron Hall

Nicolas Altstaedt is a cellist of rare communicative power. His dynamic flair and vivid imagination is perfect foil for Boccherini’s delightful concertos, with their mixture of suave elegance, zest for life and witty banter between soloist and orchestra.

The brilliant young period instrument ensemble Arcangelo wrap these gems of the cello repertoire in a cloth of music from the same period; the colour and fizzing energy of orchestral works by JS Bach’s sons, and Haydn’s heart-on-sleeve symphony – fiery, impassioned, with a bittersweet, theatrical sting in the tail.
