4. Guillaume Dufay | Catalina Vicens

Why do you care so much about what sort of keyboard Johan Sebastian Bach used to play on?This fourth episode is devoted to the fifteenth-century Flemish composer Guillaume Dufay, but also to a work of art that is as mythical as it is mystical, The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (1432, Saint Bavo Cathedral, Ghent) by the Van Eyck brothers. Catalina Vicens takes us on a journey of discovery of this timeless work and, more generally, the textual or figurative sources that point researchers and musicians to the way music was played before the eighteenth century and what the musical instruments used looked like.  To go further >CREDITSguest Catalina Vicens, musician specialising in historical keyboard instrumentsinterview & editing Andrew Burnproduction REMAcredits music Platée, Act 1, Orage - Jean-Philippe Rameauperformed by Les Talens Lyriques, dir.
