'The French Suite in Europe'
Jordi Savall conducts a concert of beautiful French Baroque music
featuring ballet music by Guillaume Dumanoir and opera Alceste by
Jean-Baptiste Lully. Savall showcases Georg Philipp Telemann and George
Frideric Handel on the viola da gamba, which is rarely featured as a solo
instrument with an orchestra. Handel's beloved Water Music brings the rich
orchestral colors of the French ballet suite to full blossom, combining it
with German musical sensibilities and a bit of an English accent.
