Concert Program/ Ensemble Pierre Robert: "Peace Sacred - Peace Profane"

May 20th 2008, by Tobias |

From the official Program Notes: Two lavishly elegant celebrations of peace from the time of Louis XIV. Lully’s operatic Idylle was composed in 1685 to mark the ending of a recent war. The ‘Eucharistic prayer for peace’, celebrating the joining of Strasbourg to the kingdom of France, is the most substantial work by one of the great underrated figures of French music, Sébastien de Brossard. Ensemble Pierre Robert, making their second visit to the Festival, have rapidly made a name for themselves as distinguished and refined interpreters of the vocaland-instrumental music of the French Baroque.
