Baroque Highlights from Lammermuir

Unique concert performances including Concerto Copenhagen at the Lammermuir Festival and choral Stanford from ±«Óătv NOW.

Mark Forrest showcases unique concert recordings from home and abroad, including the award-winning Danish Baroque orchestra Concerto Copenhagen at the recent Lammermuir Festival. Mark selects highlights from three recitals.

Elsewhere, Classical Live's orchestra-in-focus the ±«Óătv National Orchestra of Wales joins forces with the ±«Óătv National Chorus of Wales to perform Charles Villiers Stanford's epic 'Te Deum in B-flat, Op.66' in this his anniversary year. Far grander in scale than his earlier liturgical settings of the same text, Stanford's concert Te Deum in B-flat was premiered at the 1898 Leeds Festival by a chorus of some 350 singers, marking the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria.
