A founding member of Erato, Jean-François Paillard always placed French Baroque music at the heart of his orchestra's repertoire and maintained it in a privileged position despite the growth of musical range and number of concerts. Originally named Ensemble Instrumental Jean-Marie Leclair, it has never ceased to highlight the concertos of this immense violinist alongside the works by Couperin, Rameau and a number of other composers remained in the shadows. These are all opportunities for the orchestra to shine, together with young soloists such as M. André, J.P. Rampal or G. Souzay. Limited 14 CD set.
