Les Caractères de la danse of Jean-Féry Rebel (Hartig Ensemble+Musica Florea)

The famous Baroque suite of Rebel in choreography of Helena Kazárová danced by Hartig Ensemble () in Baroque Theatre of Český Krumlov Castle, Czech Republic. Recorded live on July 26, 2019, performance at the 28th International Music Festival Český Krumlov. Dancers: Lenka Kantorová (Terpsicore), Michaela Bartlová, Barbora Fišerová, Václav Krajc, Miroslav Stehlík. Costumes: Roman Šolc. Musica Florea orchestra on period instruments conducted by Marek Štryncl (). Rebel introduces - on a modest platform of just 8-9 minutes - eleven favourite Baroque dances from ballroom and theatre repertoire, each of them a refined miniature. Dances are complemented with a short Prélude and a Sonata, which steps between the dances and also concludes the work (Prelude, Courante, Menuet, Bourrée, Chaconne, Sarabande, Gigue, Rigaudon, Passepied, Gavotte, Sonate, Loure, Musette, Sonate). The original choreography of Helena Kazárová (Professor at the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague) is based on similar dances recorded in Beauchamp-Feuillet dance notation and on her experience with these dance forms and the theme itself.
