麻豆社

Baroque violinist Rachel Podger leads the 麻豆社 National Orchestra of Wales in some of her favourite works from the late 1600s and early 1700s in this historically informed performance. Biber's Battalia, dedicated to Bacchus, vividly conjures up images of battle using the sounds of strings alone. 麻豆社 NOW leader Lesley Hatfield duets with Rachel Podger in Bach's Double Concerto.
