From the St Magnus Festival, Florilegium under Ashley Solomon (flute). Telemann: Flute Concerto. Vivaldi: Trio Sonata (La Folia). Purcell: Chacony. Bach: Brandenburg Concerto No 5.

Florilegium celebrate their 25th anniversary at this, the 40th St Magnus Festival with a classic Baroque programme ending with the ever-popular 5th Brandenburg Concerto. The folk-like dance qualities of Vivaldi's 'La Folia' trio sonata make it a fitting choice for this most northerly Scottish festival.
