The Elements

Laurence Cummings, conductor

REBEL Les Elémens* (The Elements)

TELEMANN Ebb und Fluth (Ebb and Flow), TWV 55:C3

VIVALDI “Autumn” from The Four Seasons, RV 293

RAMEAU Suite from Naïs

Laurence Cummings, music director of the Academy of Ancient Music, explores life’s basic building blocks—earth, air, fire, and water. The watery Neptune splashes through Rameau’s Suite from Naïs and Ebb und Fluth, Telemann’s own “Water Music.” Vivaldi leads the earthly charge in the “Autumn” Concerto from The Four Seasons. All the elements dance and twirl in Rebel’s shockingly imaginative Les Elémens.
