Bill & Friends

Description

After the success of the albums Générations with Théotime Langlois de Swarte (>2,000 sales in France, Choc de Classica, ffff de Télérama, Choix de France Musique) and Conversation with Justin Taylor, William Christie has this time gathered the cream of this new generation of musicians, whose respective careers he has greatly helped to launch.A program befitting the founder of Les Arts Florissants: as varied as it is demanding, bringing together composers of universal renown with others unjustly forgotten.Christie and Taylor play two exceptional harpsichords from the collection of the Musée de la musique: a 1646 Ruckers and a pre-1749 Goujon.On the eve of a sprightly 80th birthday, it is at the Musée de la musique that the most French of American musicians has gathered around him a host of young artists dear to his heart: William Christie has watched over their development, and they have already become masters! The program celebrates those composers he has so passionately championed and, for some, revived.
