So… according to Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ there will be a lot of Purcell and Blow to sing at #EngelseBarokScratch and I really like that. They say there will be a preselection based on some kind of singing CV. As much as I can understand why they plan on doing that, and as much as I would have welcomed a higher level of singing at #FranseBarokScratch, as much would I prefer a more democratic approach to an already quite elitist event. It's a scratch event, not some kind of project choir.
