Ruby Hughes and the London Handel Players
Soprano Ruby Hughes and the London Handel Players perform at the 2015 Brighton Early Music Festival. With music by Jacquet de La Guerre, Biber, Rebel, Couperin and Leclair.
This year's Brighton Early Music Festival celebrates on a grand scale music by female composers of the past. From St George's Church Kemp Town, Brighton, Ruby Hughes takes on two dramatic solo cantatas on biblical themes by Elisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre. De La Guerre first burst onto the musical scene aged eight when she performed at the Court of Louis XIV, majorly impressing the King. These sandwich performances by the London Handel players of some of the finest and earliest examples of string sonatas, and keyboard works by the master of the keyboard Francois Couperin. Presented by Ian Skelly.
