Le Roi Soleil est mort depuis six ans déjà mais la musique de son règne continue d’être publiée et interprétée à côté de la musique de la nouvelle génération (plus italienne). Avec un pied dans le passé et l’autre vers l’avenir, Paris en 1720 est à la fois nostalgique et avant-gardiste.

The Sun King has been dead for six years already but the music from his reign continues to be published and performed alongside the music of the new (more Italianate) generation. With one foot in the past while the other steps towards the future, Paris in 1720 is both nostalgic and avant garde.
