Review

Had La famille Forqueray been around today, some three centuries after they graced the French court, it seems inconceivable that they wouldn’t be the subject of some must-see fly-on-the-wall reality TV series (presumably produced by Canal Plus), so dysfunctional were they. The antics of Dad (Antoine), Mum (Henriette-Angélique) and elder son (Jean-Baptiste) would doubtless enthral a global audience, be chewed over in lurid detail in the gossip columns of tabloid and broadsheet alike, possibly even be earnestly discussed by students on the ‘Freudian analysis and its role in pre-revolutionary France’ module at the Sorbonne. I am certain their musical ability would have eclipsed that of the Osbornes, while their couture and innate sense of style would have given the Kardashians a run for their money.
For those of you who haven’t been watching this imaginary series (or couldn’t follow Canal’s subtitles) this, in a nutshell, is what you missed: the boy Antoine is a prodigy on the viol, and at the age of ten plays before Louis XIV; the king pays for his further tuition on the bass viol and signs him up to be official court musician at the age of 17 - a role he (somehow) manages to keep until the end of his life. A few years later he meets lovely claveciniste Henriette-Angélique Houssou, he marries her and two years later they produce their first son Jean-Baptiste. Neighbours on the estate soon become aware that the jolly sounds of the infant frequently intermingle with the less agreeable noise of bickering parents. Soon after the birth of second son Nicolas, the old king gets to hear five-year-old Jean-Baptiste play the viola da gamba. The king is deeply impressed as the boy is clearly a chip off the old block, but as time passes and his marriage goes stale, increasingly embittered dad Antoine becomes possessed by the green-eyed monster to the point where he has Jean-Baptiste, by now 15 years old, flung into jail. Over time the envy deepens further, so dad organises a lettre de cachet with court big-wigs and thus has his (possibly more) talented son exiled from France, by this fait accomplis (worse than death), on dubious grounds of alleged “excessive debauchery” . This is short-lived, however. After Dad dies Jean-Baptiste seemingly forgives him by publishing transcriptions of 32 of his remaining works over five suites in two different versions; one for solo harpsichord and the other for viola da gamba with basso continuo.
While those five suites in their harpsichord guise form the backbone of this sumptuously produced set, my flippant prelude is not as misplaced as it may seem at first sight, as among the five discs containing the Forquerays’ complete extant oeuvre is a recited programme of contemporary accounts, reflections and vignettes concerning these extraordinary, if little-known figures. Alas my French isn’t nearly remotely good enough to make any sense of it whatsoever but it’s nonetheless heartening to think that the serious folk at Harmonia Mundi feel that these lives merit this sort of treatment. It’s billed as a bonus - although it will certainly not be the main reason enthusiasts buy this disc.
There is inevitably much fervent debate about the actual provenance of this music. The young French harpsichord player Justin Taylor released a much admired disc of music by the Forquerays on Alpha in 2016 (ALPHA CLASSICS 247 -it includ
