à violino solo

Description

Thibault Noally is a recognized name in the international baroque scene, of which he has been a part for many years, whether as the solo violinist of the Musiciens du Louvre-Grenoble under Marc Minkowski, with Concerto Köln, Pulcinella, or the Matheus ensemble. This first solo album, highly anticipated, brings him to the forefront with a repertoire in which he knows how to convey all the subtleties: the works for solo violin from baroque Germany. This period, when the violin reaches the perfection of its form and sound, is a treasure for all seekers of masterpieces, including the Sonatas and Partitas by Johann Sebastian Bach (here the incredible Chaconne). Throughout the album, we will (re)discover Thomas Baltzar (1631-1663), whose work demands mastery, precision, and an unmatched virtuosity; Johann Joseph Vilsmayer (1663-1722), Franz Biber (1644-1704), a star of the Salzburg court; Johann Paul von Westhoff (1656-1705), a colleague of Bach in Weimar; Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767), known for his most famous works; Johann Georg Pisendel (1687-1755), "the greatest violinist of his time," with pages of brilliant clarity, formal balance, and virtuosity. A look at the soul of German baroque, through its diversity, finesse, and evolution during the 17th and 18th centuries, and the song of the king of instruments: the violin.
