Les Idées heureuses - Vincent Lauzer : The Art of the Recorder in Naples

With Neapolitan Baroque music portrayed as virtuosic, expressive and luminous, recorder player Vincent Lauzer performs the finest pages of the 18th-century instrumental repertoire composed in this culturally rich city. With seven musicians from Les Idées heureuses, we'll hear the famous flautino concerto RV 312 by Antonio Vivaldi who, despite his Venetian origins, spent part of his life in Naples as choirmaster of the Pietà dei Turchini, which explains why he had such a strong influence on such excellent Neapolitan composers, now forgotten, as Sarri, Avitrano, Fiorenza and Mancini.
