Making his Tafelmusik debut this season is French\/Italian violinist Emmanuel Resche-Caserta, concertmaster of Les Arts Florissants and an artist whose \u201cremarkable direction is coupled with superb violin playing, ease, and virtuosity\u201d (ForumOpera).
\nThis concert takes its cue from the rivalry between the distinct French and Italian baroque styles epitomized by the music of Lully and Corelli. Both were revered in their respective countries as composers and as orchestral leaders. We spend the first half of the program in their company, contrasting Corelli concertos with a suite from Lully\u2019s opera Atys.<\/p>\n
Headlining the second half is music by two women whose talent caught the attention of King Louis XIV: Antonia Bembo, the remarkable Italian baroque pioneer who developed a singular musical language during her exile in France, and \u00c9lisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, a French musical prodigy turned composer who secured royal patronage.<\/p>\n
The French and Italian styles are united in works by Georg Muffat, who studied with both Corelli and Lully. Fran\u00e7ois Couperin composed Apotheoses honouring both Corelli and Lully, which culminate in a sonata titled \u201cLa paix du parnasse\u201d (Peace in Parnassus), celebrating the reconciliation of the two styles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
