Description

ENSEMBLE LES TRAVERSÉES BAROQUES Alice JULIEN-LAFERRIÈRE violin Judith PACQUIER cornett Christine PLUBEAU viola da gamba Laurent STEWART harpsichord and organ   Program: Instrumental works by Cima, Bassano, Marini, Buxtehude, Rosenmüller, Froberger, Cavalli…   Strange, whimsical, theatrical, extroverted, vocal, fantastic: halfway between the chamber, the church and the theatre, the Canzoni and other instrumental Sonatas appeared at the dawn of the Baroque period. At the end of the 16th century, the role of any good instrumentalist was the imitation of singing and the human voice. But little by little, he frees himself from this practice, notably by adding diminutions that will allow him to consider the birth of a specifically instrumental repertoire more and more virtuoso and extroverted. If some of these first sonatas often remain inspired by a vocal form, others quickly plunge us into the exploration of a "new world", in which inventiveness, virtuosity and innovation are the key words.
