The adventurous English cellist Matthew Barley is Calefax’s ideal ‘partner in crime’.
Baroque music often has a clear pulse, an intrinsic 'drive'. It also invites every performer to give it his own, very personal interpretation, with unexpected melodic colouring and spicy chords.
There have been diverse musical gifts given throughout the history of music; however, the present that Johann Sebastian Bach gave to Frederick the Great towards the end of his life had an unusually bitter edge.
