About this concert

With fervour and a taste for adventure, the Swiss Baroque orchestra Les Passions de l'Âme reignite the past. Meret Lüthi leads the expedition through La forêt enchantée (1754): spectacular music for a pantomime based on Torquato Tasso’s epic Gerusalemme liberata. Francesco Geminiani depicts the enchanted forest with a unique blend of French and Italian styles.
