'They look like brothers,' Gramophone wrote about Theotime Langlois de Swarte and Justin Taylor. 'They look like brothers,' Gramophone wrote about Theotime Langlois de Swarte and Justin Taylor. The charming violin/harpsichord duo draws packed venues worldwide with quirky reinterpretations of canonical and unheard early music gems. Twice already, they have dedicated an album to other musician brother pairs. In this baroque recital, they combine the 'goûts réunis' practised by the Francoeur and Eccles families with the completely unique style of Henry Purcell and the full-blooded Italian baroque of Arcangelo Corelli. 

It was spelled out in the stars: violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte and harpsichordist Justin Taylor would carve their own niche from the massif called 'early music'. Both have already received many awards - de Swarte as Ambassador of the REMA, among others, Taylor as final laureate of the Musica Antiqua Competition in Bruges. Together they won a 2023 Edison Classical Chamber Award and founded Le Consort: an ensemble that sheds new light on the trio sonata repertoire.
