Pancrace Royer: Surprising Royer, Orchestral Suites

Released

Chances are good you’ve never heard of Pancras Royer, who was a popular and influential composer for both the harpsichord and for the stage in 18th-century France. It’s high time for his work to come back to public notice, and this fine recording by Les Talens Lyriques under Christophe Rousset helps move that process along by bringing attention to several overtures and dance suites from Royer’s operas.
