Whilst Archangelo Corelli was basking in his reputation in Rome, and Michel-Richard Delalande soaking up the flattering attentions of the Parisian public, some notable musicians were making waves in London. They are not so well-known, but they deserve to be. It’s a cosmopolitan crowd. Alongside the Englishmen – John Weldon, Daniel Purcell and William Croft – we can count Gottfried Finger, Francesco Geminiani and Johann Cristoph Pepusch. All of them were soon to be eclipsed by Georg Frederic Handel, for sure, but none deserves oblivion. This concert will ensure that doesn’t happen.
