Ugh, how dreadful, Glass. The only glass Handel liked was Claret.
Quite right old boy, and Grande Cru to boot. He got his cellar stocked from Lord Radnor.
Les Violons du Roy actually use modern instruments with period bows for 18th-century repertoire.
So ‘neither one thing nor the other’ then?
With what purpose?
30 years of international renown?
and I honestly thought that parochialism was strictly the preserve of the UK…!
How shocking, an ensemble that cares more about making great music than about ideological purity!
Les Violins du Roy is a fine band. Can be very exciting in fact. Have heard them on many occasions, most recently here in Toronto with Jaroussky and the evening was a thorough delight. The question and drama will be about what this new (to me at least) countertenor will be like!!
