'Wonderful playing and, of course, the audience were fully appreciative'

David Hill (returning to an area of Hampshire that he knows so well) and David Ponsford played works by Bach and Vivaldi, all in arrangements made by David Ponsford. Two concertos from Vivaldi’s fabulous collection ‘LEstro Armonico’ bookended the first half of the concert, containing excellent interplay between the two harpsichords. Vivaldi’s signature string-writing effects were brilliantly transposed onto the keyboards, a feat that is not always easy to achieve. The other works in the programme were arrangements of Bach’s Trio Sonatas for organ. There was brilliant playing in the E flat trio BWV 525, the last movement having real spirit and verve.
