M14 Baroque at it's Best Ensemble Moliere - The Dancing Star

Handel: Entrée des songes from Alcina
Rameau: Suites from Dardanus
Handel: Suites from Terpsicore
Rameau: Les Fleurs Suites from Les Indes Galantes
Rebel: Les Caractères de la danse

Ensemble Molière, a brilliant period ensemble who have been BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artists, bring a delectable programme of dance music by two very different geniuses, Handel and Rameau. The juxtaposition of German and French high baroque music with a bit of Italian music thrown in for good measure means that the festival will end in toe-tapping style.

‘Ensemble Molière are clearly totally absorbed into the French Baroque style of performing, their eloquent playing revealing the sensitivities and bon goût that the genre demands.’
