Conductor: Jordi Savall
Jordi Savall, the legendary figure of early music, compiled a programme for the BFO spanning a century and a half and presenting the court music of the age of three monarchs, Louis XIII, Louis XIV and Louis XV. The compositions of two iconic composers of 17th and 18th century French music and their far less known colleague will be performed by the orchestra’s Baroque ensemble (established: 2011) playing period instruments. All the pieces were composed in honour of the then reigning king. Dancing plays a significant role not only in the ballet music of Philidor the elder, but also in the operas (or rather opera-ballets) of Lully and Rameau. The central genre of the programme, just like that of the era, is court ballet; the concert features a selection from the three ‘Louis records’ of Jordi Savall released between 1999 and 2011.
