Ars Antiqua Austria (Photo: Brendon Heinst)
Austrian music of the baroque era was strongly influenced by the contemporary music of Italy, France, Spain, and Hungary, as well as the music of the Slavic lands. On this edition of Baroque&Before, you’ll hear those influences in distinctly Austrian works by Benedikt Anton Aufschnaiter, Georg Muffat, and Rupert Ignaz Mayr, performed by the period instrument ensemble Ars Antiqua Austria.
Tonight’s program was recorded live in concert July 2, 2021 at the Vienna Konzerthaus. Thanks to WFMT’s association with the European Broadcasting Union, we’ll be able to offer tonight’s program as a stream for thirty days following the broadcast. A blue “Listen” button will appear when the stream is accessible.
