He selected three opera arias by Vivaldi and three by Handel, which convey very different characters.In Vivaldi's ‘Gelido in ogni vena’, we also hear music from Vivaldi's violin concerto 'Winter', in this case to illustrate freezing blood. Handel's aria ‘Come rosa in su la spina’ is one of the most beautiful arias for bass ever written.The concert is complemented by a variety of instrumental works featuring Italian Baroque music.Learn more about the Baroque Weeks 2026Video recordings of past concertsPlaylist ‘Baroque 2026’ on SpotifyRead our blog entries about the baroque weeks of past years:«Offenbarungen in der Barockkirche», July 2025, by Madeleine Hirsiger«Die Schatzsucherin», July 2024, by Andreas Zurbriggen«Aernen Barock – der Friede sei mit dir», July 2022, by Madeleine Hirsiger«The Best of Baroque and Beaumont», July 2018, by Sarah Batschelet«Baroque At Its Best», July 2017, by Sarah Batschelet«The Baroque Weeks Begin!», July 2015, by Sarah BatscheletAernen Barock:Nahuel Di Pierro, Bass | Ada Pesch, Violin | Monika Baer, Violin | Deirdre Dowling, Viola | Catherine Jones, Violoncello | Christian Staude, Double Bass | Josep Domènech, Oboe | Xenia Löffler, Oboe | Javier Zafra, Bassoon | Sebastian Wienand, Harpsichord and Organ | Mike Fentross, Theorbo
