Provenance

Where it came from

Released by Mirare in 2022, this recording explores the musical legacy of the Bach-Abel concerts, a series of chamber music recitals held in London between 1764 and 1782. Established by Johann Christian Bach and Carl Friedrich Abel, these concerts were instrumental in shaping the musical life of the city, introducing works by Mozart and Haydn to British audiences. This album seeks to recreate the refined, intimate atmosphere of those performances, drawing on the collaborative spirit that defined the original society.

The album features the ensemble Les Ombres, directed by Sylvain Sartre and Margaux Blanchard, alongside soloists including violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte and harpsichordist Justin Taylor. The performers opted for historically informed performance practices, selecting a program that reflects the blend of galant style and early classical sensibilities favored at the time. Upon its release, the recording was noted by critics for its meticulous attention to period-appropriate phrasing and its success in capturing the salon-like intimacy of the eighteenth-century concert experience.
