Le Concert des Nations
Direcció: Jordi Savall
During the 18th century, European and, in particular, French musicians forged a speciality in the art of tone painting. Jean-Féry Rebel set out his intentions in his Foreword to the The Elements, writing: “the Air is ‘depicted’ by sustained notes followed by candenzas played on piccolos.” In this live recording of a concert performed at the Fontfroide Festival, our “musical painters” – Matthew Locke, Marin Marais, Georg Philipp Telemann, Antonio Vivaldi, Jean-Philippe Rameau and Jean-Féry Rebel – speak for themselves.
