Veteran Early Music violinist Monica Huggett is not my particular favorite in this particular repertoire:  I think French Baroque requires more elegance than Huggett's hearty playing normally provides (excellent as Huggett is in other stuff).  But I love French Baroque chamber music so much for its ineffable refinement that I'm not going to warn you off a concert of Rameau, Leclair,  and Couperin just because I don't consider the violinist/ensemble leader ideal.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  Good Northern Chinese food -- bordering on Central Asian in its meaty heartiness -- at Dun Huang.
