French chamber music in the 18th. C.
Composers: Jean-Marie Leclair, Jacques Hotteterre & Louis-Gabriel Guillemain
1985, FL2 3020

The flowering of modern chamber music may be said to have taken place in Paris in the early 18th. C. as the young and brighter intelectuals and artists escaped from the strict etiquette of Versailles. Arion bring us some first rate examples.
Claude Gingras, La Presse 1985

French baroque instrumental music is perilous to play because there are a myriad of details in ornamentation and texture to sort through, but the Ensemble Arion has penetrated its secrets. Good sound and presence.
