On WCRB In Concert with Boston Baroque, experience the brilliance and emotional depth of the Baroque era with a program of masterworks from some of its greatest composers. Mezzo-soprano Meridian Prall brings expressive power to Giovanni Battista Ferrandini’s Il Pianto di Maria, a poignant and rarely heard gem. The orchestra shines in a vibrant suite from Rameau’s Les Boréades, Bach’s joyful Sinfonia to Cantata BWV 42, and the timeless elegance of Handel’s Water Music.
