The Power of Love: Music of Francoeur, Couperin, Eccles, Bach, Corelli, and others
Immerse yourself in enthralling music performed with theatrical flair and graceful eloquence by two of Early Music’s most exciting young virtuosos: violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte and harpsichordist Justin Taylor. Close colleagues as founders of the ensemble Le Consort, the duo unlock a treasure trove of Baroque gems that showcase their thrilling musicality. Join them for a tour of Baroque Europe with energetic masterpieces and uncovered rarities featuring selections by two sets of brothers—François and Louis Francoeur and John and Henry Eccles—as well as Rameau, François Couperin, Bach, and Corelli.
“Musically, they are brothers: there is such affinity in the way they explore harmony and touch, line and colour – together they conjure the sense that they are trying to spell out a language that only has beautiful words in it.”
