About this concert

Making three centuries of keyboard music in 23 books accessible again to new generations of performers and listeners: such was Louise and Aristide Farrenc's ambitious project. Published between 1861 and 1872, their series Le Trésor des Pianistes functioned as a conduit of key Baroque repertoire. Canadian harpsichordist Anders Muskens honours them with works by Mattheson, Handel and Rameau.
