Elbphilharmonie Session | Thomas Dunford & Théotime Langlois de Swarte play Variations on »La Folia«

Two audience favourites from France perform an early music hit in the foyer of the Recital Hall.
Théotime Langlois de Swarte and Thomas Dunford are two shooting stars of the early music scene, whose influence reaches far beyond too. Armed with their broad artistic interests and enormous enthusiasm, they devote their energy to works dating back centuries that still inspire audiences to this day. They are both superb improvisers, whether they’re playing solo or in a duet. »I often feel like a jazz musician on stage,« Thomas Dunford says.
For their Elbphilharmonie session in the foyer of the Recital Hall, they play Nicola Matteis’ multi-faceted »Variations on la Folia« - made up of short variation movements shifting between melodious melancholy and breathtaking virtuosity.
