Last night at Kilgarriffe Church in Clonakilty 🙂
A wonderfully warm audience of all generations. Clonakilty really is a beautiful town where every style of music feels welcome.

Many thanks to Reverend Kingsley Sutton, Daphne Perrott Sutton, and the Kilgarriffe community for the warm welcome — and for this beautiful photo.

More photos and videos soon on the France Baroque page!

Handel came up in my thinking and I needed to listen to (at least one of) his nine German Arias.

They are, every one of them, delightful. Over the years I’ve played them many times. But this means I have Opinions so finding a performance to link that doesn’t annoy me is hard. This one comes close.

Marie Friederike Schöder and Batzdorfer Hofkapelle.

They properly ornament on the da capo, so that’s great even if I don’t like all their choices.

This is the sixth one: Meine Seele hört im Sehen.
