2024: French Reflections, vol. 1: Baroque Tableau

2024

The golden age of the Baroque saw musical explosions of invention across Europe. In Baroque Tableau, J. S. Bach’s classic double concerto for oboe and violin is followed by a dramatic shift in style from French luminaries Couperin and Rameau, with works by Telemann and Buxtehude providing German contrasts, and Rebel’s Les Élémens as a provocative and lively finale.
