About this concert
His most famous book, Der vollkommene Capellmeister, is permeated with the ideals of the Enlightenment. But in his music Mattheson also shows himself to be a modernist. In this harpsichord recital Jean-Christophe Dijoux argues in favour of Mattheson's progressive and daring style, sometimes in dialogue with French colleagues such as Lully and Couperin, sometimes engaged in a polemic with Buttstett, his traditionalist opposite.
