Baroque Music

If anyone is interested in playing baroque music I recommend that you listen to Rameau, Jean-Philippe (1683-1764): Le Temple de la Gloire - orchestral suites (1745)
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra  Jeanne Lamon (conductor).

This is beautifully played and is an excellent demonstration of the style, showing off the various dance movements.  According to reports the hurdy-gurdy players of the day were able to match the subtlety of violins and flutes.  

The suites were broadcast this morning on BBC Radio 3 and people in the UK can Listen Again for a week..

"Through the night" at 1am today... the Rameau is the last item, at
6:29am (i.e. 5:29 in the "listen again").

I'm listening right now. I don't hear any hurdy-gurdy, but there's
some virtuoso brass playing!

Cheers,
