Harpsichordist Anne Robert Performs Music of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges in France Nov. 8

[Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges: Violin Concertos, Op. 5, Nos. 1 & 2; Op. 3, No. 1; Op. 8, No. 9; Bernard Thomas Chamber Orchestra; Jean-Jacques Kantorow, Violin; Arion 68093 (1990)] 

AfriClassical sent an E-mail to harpsichordist Anne Robert concerning Jean-Claude Halley's post on Guadeloupe Attitude. She has replied: “Hello! Thank you for your mail! A lot of people went to the concert in "La Chaux de Fonds" (Switzerland). They especially appreciated the various programs I played: the old Harpsichord sounded magnificently, even with Ewa Gabrys' Toccata (1970), and with Saint-Georges too. For me too, it was a challenge...I was anxious before my performance! Best greetings! Anne Robert” In a postscript, Anne Roberts also calls attention to her forthcoming performance of works of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges and others. Her website describes the event in French. We translate as follows: “On Saturday, November 8 at 4:30 pm, Anne Robert will present a concert at the Fnac Forum in Nimes [in the South of France]. She will play the magnificent Martine Argelès French harpsichord in a program of Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges, Froberger, Telemann and Alain Louviers. (Telephone: 0466363308).
