No praise could be too high for Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican The sound which the ensemble maintained throughout the evening was both magical and intensely French ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The ensemble took its title from an opera of the same name by Marc-Antoine Charpentier , a prolific French composer whose works are these days overshadowed by those of his younger fellow-countryman, Jean-Philippe Rameau. Charpentier now has a curious claim to fame, in that one of his rondos is the fanfare that prefaces broadcasts of the Eurovision network, but in his time he was celebrated for his religious music.
What made this work so exquisite was the winning way it was led by Julie Roset, a young soprano with a gleaming sound, and by Nicholas Scott, a young British tenor with a marvellously supple expressiveness.
