Spectacular virtuosity, buoyant dance rhythms, and breathtaking melodies are hallmarks of the Italian style. This concert showcases the brilliant way composers quoted or even copied each other or themselves to create new works. Harpsichordist Jean Rondeau, “one of the most natural performers one is likely to hear on a classical music stage these days” (The Washington Post), reveals the brilliance and beauty of this music.
