A programme that celebrates and explores the coming together of French and Italian musical styles as pioneered by François Couperin and developed by Georg Philipp Telemann. The réunion des goûts was an idea promoted by Couperin in his masterpiece L’Apothéose de Lully published in 1725 and further explored a year later in Les Nations, a four part composition dedicated to the illustration and integration of these national styles. Perhaps with a nod to Couperin, Georg Telemann capitalised on this musical trend with the publication of his ‘Paris’ Quartets. This second set of suites, published in 1738, is more a continuation of the réunion des goûts, despite the French titles and forms.
