Soundtracks

Inspired by the legendary 1716 ‘Donzelague’ harpsichord preserved in Lyon, Christophe Rousset brings together Louis Marchand and Jean-Philippe Rameau, two virtuosos who dazzled Paris. A sumptuous instrument with a transparent, powerful sound in the service of music that is tender and elegant, painful, declamatory and chiselled.
