Baroque Quartets - La Française

‘Mr Guillemain is perhaps the fastest and most extraordinary violinist one could ever hear... His hand is sparkling, ... his works are filled with the most striking beauty.’ Louis-Gabriel Guillemain, a French composer and little-known virtuoso violinist of the 18th century, who also travelled to Italy to complete his training, is brought back to life in this programme by the ensemble La Française. Works by Telemann, Barrière and Boismortier complete this panorama of late Baroque music, born in the salons where the French transverse flute joined forces with the Italian violin.
