Two court composers wrote suites that gathered three hundred years of dust. Tot Musica Gloria de Swiffer brought them out
Mourning and musing about music that has been languishing in an archive for hundreds of years? Doesn't help. Musica Gloria rolled up his sleeves and saved the suites of violinist Jacques Huguenet and oboist Pierre Philidor – both active at the French court around 1715 – from the great nothingness. The output of the composers turned out to be gigantic, so choose a hell. Eight musicians filleted the collection and are now serving the most seductive morsels in a showcase tailored to Versailles.
