Since In Vain: Underground / Var - Since In Vain: Underground / Var - Music CD

In 1660 the Restoration put an end to a period of artistic austerity and saw a rebirth of musical life in England, encouraged by a powerful need to be entertained. Many works for harpsichord were published by famous composers, yet also by others who are today quite forgotten. Caroline Huynh Van Xuan presents an original and hitherto unrecorded programme of "grounds" that enables one to rediscover the repertory and the vitality of the English music scene in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. After her music studies at the Lyons Regional Conservatory in harpsichord, piano, chamber music, and teaching, Caroline Huynh Van Xuan joined the harpsichord class of Francoise Lengelle at the main Lyons Conservatory where she worked with Dirk Borner, Jaky Piscione, Pablo Kornfelt, and others. She currently teaches at the Marselles Regional Conservatory.
