Les Siecles at the Aldeburgh Festival

Francois-Xavier Roth conducts Les Siecles at Snape Maltings Concert Hall during the 2016 Aldeburgh Festival. Rameau: Daphnis et Egle (excerpts). Ravel: Daphnis et Chloe.

Les Si猫cles perform Rameau and Ravel at the Aldeburgh Festival.
This leading French orchestra performs the music of two French master colourists on the sorts of instruments that the composers themselves would have known. Rameau's Daphne is celebrated in a vibrant score with twenty or so dance movements whilst Ravel's 'choreographed symphony' contrasts languid eroticism with a startling brutality. The famous sunrise promises to be a truly magical experience.
