From 1750 onwards, the mandolin met with great success among the nobility and bourgeoisie
of the capital. This was the age of the Ā«gallant styleĀ», of the refined and intellectual atmosphere of salons and townhouses and fascination for the most refined sounds, as exemplified by the mandolin. It is that atmosphere that Anne-Catherine Bucher will be reproducing from her harpsichord, in the company of mandolinist Juan Carlos MuƱoz.
