Stop. Listen. Breathe. We invite you to immerse yourself in the astonishing clarity of four musicians, together and alone. Rising star Charlotte Bowden offers up beautifully reflective and philosophical Handel, while violin, cello, and theorbo each take their turn in the limelight. Bach’s mesmerising and forthright third suite for solo cello contrasts with the obsessive tread of Biber’s ‘Guardian Angel’ Passacaglia, the final movement of his astonishing Mystery Sonatas.
