Hailed by the New York Times as “Sophisticated and Beguiling” and praised by the Los Angeles Times for their “astonishingly vital music-making,” the New York-based Baroque ensemble Rebel has earned an impressive international reputation, enchanting diverse audiences by their unique style and their virtuosic, highly expressive and provocative approach to the Baroque and Classical repertoire. A previously undiscovered recorder concerto by Vivaldi is one of the gems featured in this eclectic mix of music from Biber, Schmelzer, Corelli, Telemann, Mancini, and others.
