Théotime Langlois de Swarte & Justin Taylor

Théotime Langlois de Swarte & Justin Taylor

'They seem like brothers,' Gramophone wrote about Théotime Langlois de Swarte and Justin Taylor. The engaging violin/harpsichord duo draws packed auditoriums worldwide with unique explorations of both universally known and unheard-of early music gems. Twice already they have dedicated an album to other pairs of musical brothers. In this Baroque recital they combine the 'goûts réunis' of the Francoeur and Eccles families with the totally unique style of Henry Purcell and the Italian Baroque of Arcangelo Corelli.
