Since the dawn of time, travel has fascinated people. It fascinates performers and composers alike, for whom it represents the opportunity to set off on the conquest of a new musical language and appropriate its codes. Almost a hundred years before Charles Burney's extraordinary journey, this programme concocted by two hands offers a thrilling musical adventure featuring the dialogue between flute and voice, from the virtuoso Vivaldi to the most European of all composers, Telemann. Whether in the intimacy of Purcell's An Evening Hymn or Rameau's brilliant Boréades, we touch the divine and let ourselves be lulled and bewitched by these undisputed masters. As we sail from one nation to the next, we are left with only one truth: the language of music is truly universal.
