Johann Heinrich Schmelzer was an Austrian composer and violinist: Born in Scheibbs, Lower Austria, he seems to have arrived in Vienna during the 1630s and remained composer and musician at the Habsburg court for the rest of his life. In 1679 he became Kapellmeister. Schmelzer was one of the most important violinist of this period, and an important influence on later German and Austrian music.

This program contains some of his most famous pieces as the `Lamento´ as well as beautiful music of his contemporaries at the Habsburg court. Together with international successfully soprano Christina Gansch we invite you to take a glance at the court of Vienna.

When Händel arrived at London 1710, he was not the first one, who aimed to make London the most important musical place in Europe, nevertheless his operas are the climax in the accidental world at this time. Between 1711 and 1738 he composed more than 40 operas and made great effort to settle the Italian opera in England.

Händels Concerti grossi op.6 were first published 1739 in London. They have been mainly performed between his oratorios.
In 1714 Francesco Geminiani came to London as one the greatest violinists at his time. Together with Händel he performed his violin concertos at the royal palace.

This program is a funny alternative to the classical Vivaldi's Four Seasons programs. It includes other concerts and vocal pieces by Vivaldi related to the Nature, to its sounds and its powerful events. Every piece explores birds songs, tempests, the life in the fields, the hunting spirit of the Fall, etc. In addition, the program starts with the interesting aria "Gelido in ogni vena" (the story of a father which sees the ghost of his son, describing the feeling of his blood freezing in veins). Vivaldi composed this scaring and unique aria using the same themes of the first movement of Winter concerto.
