“It’s as if they were brothers,” wrote Gramophone about Théotime Langlois de Swarte and Justin Taylor. In 2023, they won an Edison Klassiek award for their album Les Frères Francoeur, with the jury calling them “two equally gifted musical souls.” Armed with just a violin and a harpsichord, they deliver a sparkling concert filled with beloved classics.
This captivating violin-harpsichord duo fills concert halls worldwide with their unique interpretations of both famous and lesser-known early music gems. Twice, they have dedicated an album to musical brotherhoods. In this baroque concert, they unite the goûts réunis of the Francoeur and Eccles families with the distinctive style of Henry Purcell and the richly Italianate baroque of Arcangelo Corelli. Their performances are lively and full of flair—an undeniable asset to the world of baroque music.
Dutch newspaper Het Parool praised Théotime Langlois de Swarte: “What makes Langlois de Swarte so captivating is that he is effortlessly and dazzlingly musical. His violin tone is both grounded and light. For him, playing a solo with the orchestra means telling a story together. The moment he steps forward for a cadenza, something magical happens—he delivers a quasi-improvised jewel, as in Mozart’s Third Violin Concerto.”
Experience it for yourself.
