Jean-François Paillard and his chamber orchestra perform Handel's beloved classic series, "Water Music" - a collection of orchestral movements, often published as three suites. They were composed in response to King George I's request for a concert on the River Thames.
The chamber orchestra of Paillard is perhaps best known from their 1968 recording of Pachelbel's "Canon", which nearly single-handedly brought the piece from obscurity into great renown.
The ensemble has made recordings of much of the Baroque repertoire for Erato Records and has toured throughout Europe and the United States. It has also recorded with many leading French instrumentalists, including Maurice André, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Pierre Pierlot, Lily Laskine.
