Diane and I went to a delightful concert featuring a Quebec-based baroque music group, Les Violons du Roy (“violins of the king”). On this current tour, they’re accompanied by recorder virtuoso, Maurice Stegner. If this crew performs in your neighbor, they’re well worth a listen. Check out the sample below.
CONCERT PROGRAM:
Handel. Concerto grosso in B-flat Major Op. 6 No. 7 (“The Hornpipe”)
Telemann. Suite in A Minor for alto recorder, strings and B. C., TWV 55: a2
Sammartini. Concerto in F Major for soprano recorder and strings
Geminiani. Concerto grosso in D Minor
Geminiani. Concer per flauto No. 10 in F Major
Phil would love this one. I will check their schedule.
Missed them. They were in Ann Arbor two weeks ago.
Sorry you missed LES VIOLON du ROY, Patti. They seem to tour frequently so maybe you and Phil can catch them next time. Their recordings are well worth a listen.
Wonderful! I envy you this one, wish they would come here.
If you love baroque music as much as I do, Rick, you’d really enjoy LES VIOLONS du ROY both in concert and on CD.
Of course, if they perform in your neighbor, that can damage the finish of a fine violin…rather a messy business all around…looks promising.
I’m a fan of baroque music, Todd. LES VIOLONS du ROY are top-notch.
