London circa 1720: Corelli's Legacy


Who could have imagined that London would become the capital of Italian opera in the early eighteenth century? The 1720s witnessed a feverish demand for music that led many foreign virtuosos to move to the city. Concert-loving Londoners relished the last sonatas in the style of the old master Corelli, the first recorder and flute concertos, and the works of the youthful newcomer Handel . . . Let us admire this lively scene with the musicians of La Rêveuse, in their first recording for harmonia mundi!

Qui aurait pu imaginer que Londres deviendrait au début du XVIIIe siècle la capitale de l'opéra italien ? Les années 1720 s'écoulent dans une fièvre musicale intense marquée par l'installation de nombreux virtuoses étrangers. Les Londoniens, friands de concerts, savourent les dernières sonates dans le style du vieux maître Corelli, les premiers concertos pour flûte et les œuvres du jeune Haendel fraîchement arrivé… Admirons donc ce tableau vivant en compagnie des musiciens de La Rêveuse, à l'occasion de leur premier disque chez harmonia mundi !
