Catherine Bott presents a celebration of the 30th anniversary of Les Arts Florissants, who under their founder-director William Christie have been largely responsible for the revival of 17th-century French repertoire in France. Catherine talks to soprano Sophie Daneman about her close associations with the ensemble and plays a selection of their famous recordings.
