Lars Ulrik Mortensen understands historical performance practice not only as the study of sources and instruments. Rather, he wants to create the illusion in concert that the music is created right away. With the Orchestra La Scintilla, he performs works by Handel, the suite from Pan et Syrinx by Johann Ernst Galliard and a concerto grosso by Pietro Locatelli.
