“Masculine, elegant, tender and always perfect' - difficult to better that contemporary verdict on this genius of the French Baroque… three sonatas in the middle of the disc… make the strongest case for hailing Leclair as the first Frenchman to adapt Corelli's Italianate style to French taste. More purely French is the opening Overture, one of Leclair's fabulous trio versions of existing pieces... These deserve a disc to themselves - and Les Folies Françoises are surely the people for the job.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2006 **** | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

| |  | Grétry, Gossec, Pieltain, Gresnick: Concertos & Symphonies concertantes
Parisian concert halls welcomed composers and performers from throughout Europe during the second half of the 18th century, a goodly number of Walloons included. Gossec was indisputably the founder of the French symphonic tradition, although he was just as acclaimed in the fashionable Sinfonie Concertante style that had been imported from Mannheim. Grétry, uncontested master of the Opéra Comique, also presented an early work with clear Italian influences here. His compatriot, the Liège-born Pieltain, was a highly-regarded soloist at the "Concert Spirituel". Gresnick was initially based in Lyons but had his first Parisian successes shortly after the Revolution. | | | (also available to download from $10.75) | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days.
