Overview
Arcangelo’s final concert as Wigmore Hall’s Baroque Ensemble inResidence closes with a dramatic invocation of post-war peace byMichel Pignolet de Montéclair, the musician who introduced thedouble bass to the Paris Opéra orchestra.
Two sonatas from FrançoisCouperin’s ambitious portrait of four Catholic nations underline theinventive wealth of French music during the early 1700s.
