Overview

A banquet of delights marks a fascinating turn by the London Handel Players to works by Handel’s French contemporaries, among them the elder Jean-Marie Leclair and Michel Corrette, best known for his ‘comic concertos’ and lively variations on the popular 18th-century tunes, ‘Les Sauvages’ and ‘La Furstenberg’.
