'Théotime, 26, and Justin, 30, are two little geniuses, one on the baroque violin, the other on the harpsichord, and this new disc ... is once again pure joy. '

Album information
Violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte and harpsichordist Justin Taylor present a duo album that pays tribute to a great eighteenth-century dynasty of musicians, the violinists and composers of the Francoeur family.
The sonatas of Louis Francoeur (c.1692-1745), known as Francoeur the Elder, and those of his brother François (1698-1787) are dance suites featuring polyphonic effects produced by the use of double stopping.
Justin and Théotime, two of the most promising virtuosos of the new generation and founder members of the ensemble Le Consort, now bring these varied treasures back to life with the energy and grace for which they are already well known. They were named winners album of the 2023 Edison Classical Chamber Music Award for this "touchingly beautiful" album.

2023 Chamber Award Winner: 'What immediately strikes the listener is their honest sound, which is touchingly beautiful. '
Edison
Choc de Classica: 'Throughout the thirty-one tracks, one savours the choreographic rhetoric of Théotime Langlois de Swarte ... In this he is more than accompanied by Justin Taylor.'
Classica
Diapason d'Or: 'A poetic portrait of a family of violinists in a superbly captured duo.'
Diapason
Chamber Choice: 'The album takes us on an enchanting journey through repertoire which to many will be unfamiliar ... This is unmissable listening.'
