Saturday night, the opening concert of the three week Twin-Cities Early Music Festival in Sunden Music Hall in St .Paul by the Lyra Baroque Orch.
Program of 4 Concertos , 1 by Telemann,1 by Vivaldi bookended by perhaps the greatest examples of counterpoint ever written, the two three-harpsichord concertos of Bach !
Ending Bach was done as well as it can be done and got a ten
minute standing ovation accompanied by VERY loud vocal acclaim ! Music was so good it REALLY was hard to believe it was written by a human being ! Musicians were even freaked out and clapping and hugging each other to death, as fine concert as concerts get !
