Many composers from the Baroque age tried their hands at the noble subjects of Antiquity. With the greatest passion the pre-romanticism intensifies the furore and torment of figures such as Phaedra, Iphigenia, Eurydice, Olympia and Medea. Protagonists of the concert: the Belgian orchestra Les Agrémens playing period instruments, the conductor Guy van Waas and the Italo-American mezzosoprano Jennifer Borghi.
