"one of the best chamber ensembles baroque or otherwise currently in business" GRAMOPHONE
In their first CD with violinist Rudolfo Richter, the Palladian Ensemble play the music of Marin Marais (1656 - 1728) and Jean-Féry Rebel (1666 - 1747). A suite from
Les Elemens, an opera by Rebel, forms the centrepiece of the disc. The thunderous dissonance which opens Les Elemens can scarcely be believed to be by the 71 year Rebel, whose music had been praised for its 'Wisdom, Taste and Tenderness' and its avoidance of the 'Frightening and Monstrous'.
The award winning Palladian Ensemble have produced eight previous CDs with Linn Records. All have been extremely well received by critics and the public alike.
"...sparkling playing with the sense of uninhibited joy
which only technical mastery and unrestrained joy can
generate"
