C’ EST LA VIE! -French baroque music

 

The court of Louis XIV of  France and the Rococo-era Paris is well presented by the Finnish Baroque Orchestra and the French soprano Myriam Arbouz in this mellow program. The audience is captured to an adventure trip to the French Baroque, which is often been in shadow of the Italian and the German style. This program is full of excitement from Michel Lambert's intimate choral works to opera music by Jean-Philippe Rameau.
