The Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, one of the world's finest period ensembles and old friends of the Festival, are joined by the UK's favourite Baroque soprano in a bracing encounter with the 18th-century ocean in all its facets, from opera arias by Handel and Vivaldi comparing the vicissitudes of love to the ups and downs of the rolling seas, to a typically witty celebration by Telemann of the Hamburg Port Authority. Bring waterproofs!
'An unmitigated joy.'
