Delightful Contributions

Nicholas Kok conducts Sinfonia Viva,
heard by MIKE WHEELER

 

With Sinfonia Viva's principal conductor André de Ridder stranded in Germany, his predecessor, now the orchestra's principal guest conductor, Nicholas Kok, stepped in at a few days' notice for a feast of mainly baroque goodies (Assembly Rooms, Derby, UK, 21 April 2010).
