In the latest installment of their series devoted to British 18th-century music, the musicians of period-instrument ensemble La Rêveuse take us to London 1760. Handel had just died and George III acceded to the throne. During his reign with his queen Charlotte, both discerning musicians, musical life in the British capital was to enjoy an exceptional revival. Virtuosos and composers from all over Europe flocked there, vying with each other in originality and modernity. La Rêveuse offers us a chance to sample the heady climate of the age with concertos, sonatas, and other pieces by Carl Friedrich Abel, Johann Christian Bach, Ann Ford, Francesco Geminiani, Rudolf Straube, and Thomas Erskine.
