Meanwhile, I went to the opening concert for the Oregon Bach Collegium, this time featuring Baroque works associated with eastern Europe. Two were by Polish composers who had trained in Italy, and two were by Italian composers who spent long years in the courts of Russia, and one was by an Italian composer who probably knew the others and was included because one of the three musicians is a cellist and none of the other pieces featured the cello. The Sonata No. 4 in E-minor by Luigi Madonis was really something special.
