Hamilton : Thursday 14 April at 7.30pm, at the Gallagher Academy.

Christophe Rousset is the outstanding harpsichordist of his generation, describing his instrument as a time machine: “it really takes you to another era.” He is bringing three other leading members of his group, Les Talens Lyriques, to our shores for the first time.

 

With a varied programme of French suites, sonatas and character pieces, Rousset and his musicians will take you to Versailles with their exquisite period instruments – to the dazzlingly elegant and indulgent court of Louis XIV. The programme includes works by Couperin, Forqueray, Leclair, and Rameau. 

 

• Gilone Gaubert-Jacques, violin

• Gabriel Grosbard, violin

• Atsushi Sakai, viola da gamba

• Christophe Rousset, harpsichord, direction
