Review
Girl prodigy, played the key to Louis XIV at only five years old and grew up under the protection of the court. He was one of the most admired carnations in Paris.
In 1694 he premiered Céphale et Procris, the first opera made up of a woman in France. Its suites for key, sonatas and cantatas place it among the great French composers of its generation.
