Concert de Salon vers 1800

Jacqueline Toussaint and Claude Villevieille's curiosity for the music of talented but little-known composers has given rise to this CD whose repertoire is varied in both musical style and origin with works ranging from those of Bach's youngest son (Johann Christian) to those of Anton Reicha, born in the same year as Beethoven. The inclusion of works by the French Composers Jadin, Widerkehr, and Ozi renders yet more captivating the content of this original recital.
