You can't really do wrong with Baroque Music, especially if you are feeling jaded. As soon as it starts you are won over, no matter what your mood is - the urbane elegance, the sophisticated melancholy, the wit of its endless experiments, is quite simply better than anything you can throw back at it. The music is like a supremely indifferent vampire, or Duchess, casually self assured no matter the era or the generation.
This performance - including music by Handel, Corelli, Alessandro Scarlatti, Caldara and Albinoni, performed by a troupe of experienced and talented players led by artistic directors Sally Melhuish and Tim Blomfield at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, was a pleasure.
