In the 1760s and 1770s there was something new in the air in European music. Paris – then undoubtedly the artistic capital – saw the emergence of its first large-scale orchestras, the virtuosity of which required new scores. Thus, the Classical symphony began to revolutionise instrumental music. Henri-Joseph Rigel, an acomplished composer and one of the leading figures in that European movement, published fourteen symphonies in Paris. They are presented by Hervé Audéon (editor) with rigor and passion in this critical volume published by the Éditions du Centre de Musique Baroque de Versailles.
