Baroque Geniuses. Bach and Handel

An era of extremes and balance, sophistication and grotesqueness, contradictions and perfect harmony. An era that gave the world brilliant masters: Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frideric Handel, Christopher Pardini… The mysterious and fascinating Baroque era will come to life in the sounds of the powerful organ of Olena Matseliukh and the delicate colouratura soprano of Iryna Kliuchkovska.
