The concert "Impresiones barrocas" pays homage to the scores printed in Amsterdam during the 18th century

 

Auditorio de Tenerife is a cultural space linked to the Department of Culture of Tenerife Island Council that is managed by the island's Minister of Culture, Enrique Arriaga. The concert hall has scheduled a concert by the Baroque Orchestra of Tenerife that takes place in the Chamber Hall on Wednesday [15] at 19:30 p.m. The programme is titled "Impresiones barrocas" (Baroque scores). It is a Christmas treasure concert that pays homage to the scores printed in Amsterdam during the late baroque, in the 18th century.

Amsterdam became the European printing city for music scores for the high quality of the printings, their durability, and the readability of the scores published by that time. The publishers added editions of great baroque composers to the catalogue of the Dutch company. 

As Conrado Álvarez, artistic director of the orchestra stated, "the copies of those baroque printings by Vivaldi, Bernardi, Sammartini, Albinoni and Locatelli, with the seventeen movements that comprise the concert, will evoke the gift that any musician of that time might have received as a precious Christmas present."

This repertoire resembles a luxurious chest of baroque music during which Jacques Ogg will play the harpsichord and be the invited director. It consists of two concertos for oboe and orchestra, two sonata trios and the "Grosso Mogul" by Vivaldi. Adrian Linares plays again as first violin the baroque violin with the orchestra that is rounded up with Laura García and Sergio Suárez (baroque violins); Miriam Jorde (baroque oboe); Melchor García (baroque viola); Diego Pérez (baroque cello), and Tomás López (violone).
