Genuine heroes live forever. François Couperin and Jean-Philippe Rameau, for instance, were figureheads of the French Baroque. Among composers who paid musical homage to them is Maurice Ravel, who in Le Tombeau de Couperin echoes his idol’s clarity, balance and refinement. Claude Debussy also wrote an Hommage á Rameau as part of Images 1. With festival-favourite Olga Pashchenko at the fortepiano and the harpsichord, this concert juxtaposes Baroque and neo-Baroque.-#-PROGRAM:-#-Francois Couperin: Quatriéme livre de piéces de clavecin, Ordre XXVII-#-L'Exquise-#-Les Pavots-#-Le Chinois-#-Saillie-#-Jean-Philippe Rameau:-#-Sarabande in A (from Nouvelles suites de piéces de clavecin)-#-Les Cyclopes (from Piéces de Clavecin)-#-Debussy- Hommage á Rameau (from Images)-#-Ravel - Le tombeau de Couperin:-#-I.
