Early Music Festival: Concert Spirituel

Leeds Baroque Orchestra and Choir directed by Peter Holman

Leeds Baroque explores some of the wonderful sacred music written by eighteenth-century French composers, much of it performed not in church but at the Concerts Spirituel, founded in 1725 and held at the Tuileries Palace in Paris. Large-scale grand motets by Rameau and Mondonville and contrasted with delicate petit motets by François Couperin and Boismortier. The concert ends with Corrette's Laudate Dominum, an imaginative and highly effective reworking of Vivaldi's Spring concerto for chorus and orchestra.

Part of the Early Music Festival.
