Programmatic music was a popular phenomenon in musical life well before the 19th century, and Jordi Savall and his ensemble Le Concert des Nations introduce the audience to two baroque works portraying forces of nature in this programme entitled «The Elements and the Furies». These are coupled with Christoph Willibald Gluck’s famous score for his ballet on Don Juan, composed for 1760s Vienna, in which the earthly exploits of the skirt-chaser are stopped once and for all by the bright flames of the deities of vengeance.
