Brighton Festival Solomon's Knot Saw them do this concert in Arnstadt a few weeks ago. They're fantastic! Not to be missed.

Solomon’s Knot is an international, flexible collective of leading instrumentalists and singers who bring old music to new life by pushing the limits of what is possible on stage - without a conductor!

Great to see Jeffreys' music being promoted after the outstanding Solomon's Knot recording. Might be worth Presto Music hiring a new proofreeder, though...

den här gjorde mig glad

ヘンデルのDixit Dominusのグロリアいいよね…。

具体的には
1:10 のバスが無骨な鎧武者のように力強く小刻みに下降したあと、
1:14 で優雅に滑らかにベルベットの旋律を周りの音楽になびかせて締めるの好き。
1:18 そしてその直後にテノールが美声で入るの、おっ来たなってニヤニヤとさせられる。…

うおおSolomon's Knotの新しく上げた動画がヘンデルのDixit Dominusのアーメンフーガ（締めの曲）だ。
出てるとこ出てて締まるとこ締まってて、ごちゃらずに歌ってるのいいねえ…！全てが旋律として聴こえてかつ調和してるの好き

🔥 Just one month to go before we perform at DE SINGEL, and a few weeks until Brighton Festival & Bachfest Schaffhausen.

Here's a clip from our encore in Arnstadt: the end of the Gloria from Handel's Dixit Dominus.

10 best classical & jazz concerts this spring from The Telegraph Ivan Hewett:

“The Brighton Festival classical offering is strong this year, and includes this terrific young Baroque group showcasing the “Class of 1685” i.e. Bach, Handel and Scarlatti.”

Nothing quite like being on the front row of a Solomon's Knot concert!

Liking this action shot (courtesy of Simon W 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺) of them in full flow in the encore of the last bit of the Dixit Dominus.

A superb concert for a very appreciative audience in the Bachkirche in Arnstadt.
