A fresh feast of early music every week.
Join host Candice Agree for WFMT’s exciting weekly program of early music. Baroque&Before explores works written before 1750, featuring live concert recordings from some of the world’s most prestigious early music festivals, as well as commercially released recordings from WFMT’s vast library. From Russia to the Americas, from Northern Europe to the Mediterranean and Middle East, Candice presents internationally known artists on the early music scene, crafting a delightful mix of musicianship, music, and history.
Swedish Radio Choir & Performs Bach
Fredrik Malmberg leads the Swedish Radio Choir and Capella Suecia in one of Bach's short masses, BWV 236 in G Major. The beloved cantata "Sleepers Awake" opens the concert.
Bernardo Pasquini & The Martyrdom of Saint Vitus
The legend of Saint Vitus, with a cruel Roman emperor, exorcism, miracles, and martyrdom in the Colosseum, was not enough drama for 17th-century Roman nobility; it needed a love story too!
