Duo Zeffiretti

Duo Zeffiretti

During the Baroque era, Italy was the leader of the artistic pack. The whole world wanted to go to the country where Vivaldi shaped the concerto, Scarlatti reinvented instrumental music and Porpora wrote ingenious crowd-pleasers. Bach absorbed the style into his own works which he proudly labelled as 'Italian'. Handel successfully exported opera seria and oratorio to London. Maayan Licht and Guy Maori step into the eye of the storm with the brilliant extravagance of the Italian Baroque.
