Did you know that J. S. Bach almost got into a duel after insulting a second-rate bassoonist in his band? Or that Jean-Marie Leclair refused to play second fiddle to his violinist colleague Jean-Pierre Guignon? This programme presents pieces from the baroque period by both famous and lesser-known composers, interspersed with anecdotes that shed light on the composers’ tangled lives. This engaging programme offers a window into the human side of a repertoire that often seems removed from our present-day concert experience.
