Bach: Six Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord

Description

Johann Sebastian Bach - Sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord Dive into the fascinating world of the Sonatas for violin and obbligato harpsichord by Johann Sebastian Bach, a collection where the keyboard frees itself from the simple role of accompaniment to dialogue with the violin in a concertante and contrapuntal style. Composed between 1718 and 1722, these sonatas bear witness to the virtuosity and inventiveness of the Leipzig master, following the tradition of the sonata da chiesa while renewing the genre. Through these works, Bach pushes the boundaries of the Baroque trio and marks a decisive evolution in 18th-century chamber music. This interpretation is performed by the ensemble Le Stagioni, directed by harpsichordist and fortepianist Paolo Zanzu, with violinist Liv Heym and gambist Christophe Coin. United by a shared passion for music on period instruments, these internationally renowned artists infuse these sonatas with vibrant expressiveness and unparalleled depth. Le Stagioni is distinguished by a renewed approach to the Baroque and Classical repertoire, combining historical rigor with modern sensitivity. A luminous interpretation that reveals all the richness and subtlety of Bach's genius.
