Violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte and harpsichordist Justin Taylor, two of the most promising virtuosos of the new generation and founder members of the ensemble Le Consort, now present a duo album that pays tribute to a great eighteenth-century dynasty of musicians, the violinists and composers of the Francoeur family.
The Sonatas of Louis Francoeur (ca. 1692-1745), known as “Francoeur the Elder”, and those of his brother François (1698-1787) are dance suites featuring polyphonic effects produced by the use of double stopping. Justin Taylor and Théotime Langlois de Swarte bring these varied treasures back to life with the energy and grace for which they are already well known.
