From Camille Saint-Saëns to Jean Francaix, a line of teacher-pupil relationships runs through this programme. It is a fascinating history of instrumental music in France told backwards.
From the playfully graceful trio by Francaix, to the pensive, inward-looking, gently flowing and only occasionally dance-like music of Nadia Boulanger and Gabriel Fauré, to the neo-classical and neo-baroque septet by Saint-Saëns, which is bursting with energy and humour.
