Live from Wigmore Hall: Théotime Langlois de Swarte the brilliant French baroque violinist

Live from Wigmore Hall: the brilliant young French baroque violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte and harpsichordist Justin Taylor unlock a treasure trove of the Baroque.

Live from Wigmore Hall: Théotime Langlois de Swarte baroque violin and Justin Taylor harpsichord.

Two of the most brilliant French musicians of the younger generation unlock a treasure trove of music from the Baroque. Along with the better-known, they're sure to bring with them some gems from composers who until recently have been relegated to the footnotes of music history. But now is their time to shine. As Théotime Langlois de Swarte says, it was whilst studying modern violin at the Paris Conservatoire that he realised, "that this was what I really want to do in my life – to find forgotten composers, and to express myself through their music as if it were mine, written yesterday."  

Presented by Martin Handley.
