About this concert
Muses don't age, especially not in Paris. Their marble eyes look down on Baroque composers as impassively as on those of the fin de siècle: each mapped out their own path to the Parnassus. Harpsichordist and artist in residence Michael Hell follows the gaze of the art goddesses, past the keys of Rameau, Couperin and Dandrieu, via Debussy, Delius and Satie... all the way to Madame Landowska.
