This year, as usual, there is a variety of composers and works including Franck's Fantaisie en la, Fiat Lux (Dix Pieces) by Dubois, Bonnet's Variations de Concert and Lully's Rigaudon.
Highlights of the program, which was accompanied onstage by fumes Richman's excellent Concert Royal ensemble, were the opening "Dances of the Court," which showed popular dance forms of the period (minuet passepied, rigaudon, allemande), and the subsequent "Danses Nobles," a more formal presentation of dances created for theatrical performances.
Rather less successful was Campra's Rigaudon from Idomenee, a crashing conversation between the heavy pressure reeds but, nevertheless, a great curtain-raiser.
