Paris, city of dreams—not just today, but since centuries long gone. Following an invitation by four of Paris' most prominent musicians, Telemann composed the Paris Quartets. That Telemann was able to capture/captivate the Parisian sensibility was clear from his own admission: "they (…) procured for me in a very little time an almost universal renown." Passiones Animae juxtaposes Paris Quartet No. 4 from "Nouveaux Quartuors" with three works from Paris' own most famous composers of the time, Louis-Antoine Dornel, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, and Jean Baptiste Barrière.

About Passiones Animae

Passiones Animae is an international early music ensemble, composed from Juilliard's most promising students and alumni. Its members are regularly invited to perform with ensembles including Freiburger Barokorchester or Mercury Chamber Orchestra, and all were individually invited to perform this summer with Les Arts Florissants under the baton of William Christie. Bound by a commitment to the rhetorical approach to music prevalent in the 17th and 18th Centuries, the performances of Passiones Animae are both compelling and emotionally powerful.
