26/07 - Festival "Valloire baroque" - Quatuors parisiens de Telemann et Guillemain au Concert spirituel
Description
La Française, directed by Aude Lestienne
The belief is that the quartet is a classical invention. However, this new genre already appeared at the end of the Baroque period. Perhaps inspired by the ideas of the Enlightenment, it proposes four equal parts: three solo parts and a basso continuo part generally played by two instruments (the cello and the harpsichord).
If Telemann's works are regularly performed, the same cannot be said for those of Guillemain, who is among the forgotten composers. However, in 1713 he was appointed to the prestigious position of ordinary musician of the Chapel and Chamber of the King. It is said that he was the fastest and most extraordinary violinist one could hear and that his works were filled with the most piquant beauties.
