PRESTO has been written and presented by Pierre Charvet in order to familiarize viewers with classical music which they too often consider as being "unreachable". An author and presenter, Pierre Charvet - who has already been at the origin on FRANCE 5 (a French TV channel) of a pedagogical series called "Simple comme Musique" - ; a conductor who led an international career, Franc,ois Xavier Roth and his orchester Les Sie`cles, excel in playing four centuries of music with the same enthusiasm and same commitment, respecting period instruments, jumping from one tune to another. This is a virtuoso achievement from Franc,ois-Rene' Martin, always serving the musical text, putting in evidence details which are too rarely seen and using the split screen and graphic animation of Gregoire Pont.
