Solo violin and viola delivered the final lively Rigaudon with panache and verve. |
This year, as usual, there is a variety of composers and works including Franck's Fantaisie en la, Fiat Lux by Dubois, Bonnet's Variations de Concert and Lully's Rigaudon. |
The orchestra began with a rousing selection of Edvard Grieg's Holberg Suite, Prelude, Aria and Rigaudon. |
Rather less successful was Campra's Rigaudon from Idomenee, a crashing conversation between the heavy pressure reeds but, nevertheless, a great curtain-raiser. |
