French Baroque

[Ella Beck]

I don't know as much about Rameau as I could wish. Most of the cognoscenti place him above Lully and I have known one eminent poster, on Talk Classical, who preferred him to Bach.
This one, though, is a sure-fire winner - and I love the sight of all the violinists beavering away with their baroque bows.

Here's Dandrieu (1682-1739), a French composer of the baroque era, with a thoughtful & evocative harpsichord piece.
