Filmed at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, this concert established the international reputation of the Italian ensemble Ghislieri, from Pavia, conducted by Giulio Prandi. Founded in 2003, Ghislieri stands out for its in-depth research and dissemination of Italian baroque music.

The acoustics of the large stage at the Concertgebouw, both woody and reverberant, allow for an unprecedented spatial arrangement of the ensemble, blending precision and warmth.
