Suite life

Bergen Barokk (Musical group), performer.

CD 2016

The suites on this recording are largely taken from the many great musical publications from the Paris of the early 1700's. The publications, which were released 'avec Privilege du Roy' reflect the grand balls, concerts, opera, and ballet performances at the court and were well-received by a bourgeoisie filled with reverence for the luxurious and illustrious court life.
