About this concert

Jean-Marie Leclair, founder of the French violin school, shares with Rameau not only the year of his death, 1764, but also a miraculous midlife crisis: both were in their fifties when they made their opera debut. Unlike Rameau, Leclair would never write for the stage again. Le Concert d'Apollon links a suite from Leclair’s Scylla et Glaucus to dances from Mondonville’s Les fêtes de Paphos, and to Dardanus, Rameau’s fifth opera.

About the performers

The young ensemble Le Concert d’Apollon focuses on seventeenth and eighteenth-century French orchestral repertoire of which of no complete editions exist.

Depending on the project, the number of musicians taking part varies from fifteen to thirty-five.
