This concert is like tasting exquisite French wines – it explores the wealth of musical flavours, aromas and notes contained in the sophisticated compositions of French artists of the 17th and 18th centuries.

One can easily imagine Jean-Henri d'Anglebert's Prelude non mesuré opening the evening with notes of deep, sensual sound. What does the imagination suggest? Can you find hints of dark fruit in it? François Martin's Sonata II will remind you of the delicate taste of tannins, balanced by an elegant texture. We would say that Pierre Gautier's Suites des Prisons brings notes of oak barrels and leather accents to mind.

De Villeneuve is a composer who shares a surname with famous French wines. In his Suite No. 3 from the collection Conversations en manière de sonatas, he takes us straight to the essence of a refined pale golden liquid that encases subtle floral notes.
