Vivaldi in France
Vivaldi’s music enjoyed an
enthusiastic following in France during the early 18th century.
His cello sonatas, for instance, were first published in Paris,
as well as Il Pastor Fido, a collection of sonatas that has since been
shown to be nothing less than a spoof! In this concert we
contrast genuine and pastiche Vivaldi, alongside other French
music of the period including Rameau, Pièces de Clavecin
en Concert.

Flutes versus Violins
In this final concert of the series
we explore the varying approaches that composers employed in
composing for woodwind and strings. The softer sound of the
flute ellicited some tender writing from Bach in the G major
trio; while the D major work shows his more Italianate,
Vivaldi-inspired music for the violin.
We conclude with a sonata by the prolific
Frenchman Boismortier in a piece which - unusually - has four
equal parts for the solo instruments.
