The Corelli Ensemble & Evelyn Tubb
A varied programme of French and English recreational music from the eighteenth century: among the themes it explores and contrasts are the approaches to the trio sonata (Lé and Handel); solo harpsichord accompanied by strings (Rameau and Bach); the transition from baroque to classical styles (Mondonville and Hayes); and the early classical idiom (Bach). Both the Hayes and Bach are light-hearted, humorous pieces which make an attractive conclusion to the programme.
