LES CARACTERES DE LA DANSE

Torino / Monday 10 September 2018

Concert programme

French instrumental music of the late 1600s and early 1700s was particularly receptive with regard to dance. It acquired styles, forms and character, as we hear in the music performed by a curious duo that combines a viola da gamba with a harpsichord.
