About

In the Europe of the first half of the seventeenth century, instrumental music became a source of sonic and expressive experimentation. Influenced by vocal rhetoric, composers sought to replace words with a new musical language. The virtuosity of the instrumentalists developed, as did invention, improvisation and the search for surprising sonorities. Along with the organ or the harpsichord, the violin was the instrument of choice for experimenting with these new techniques. Italian and German composers of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries such as Farina, Schmelzer, Mealli, Buxtehude, Biber, Pisendel and Bach vied with each other in imaginativeness... The violinist Chouchane Siranossian and the harpsichordist Leonardo García Alarcón – both loyal Alpha Classics artists – have chosen to explore this repertory, here including Bach’s sonatas BWV 1019, 1021 and 1023 among other pieces.

this wonderful recital headed up by violinist Chouchane Siranossian brings us Bach before ‘Bach’ (or should that be ‘BACH’), and places his early music at various pin drops along a fascinating journey through his predecessors and contemporaries.

January 2022

The performances are notable for the superglue-tight, warm responsiveness of the trio relationship across the programme…All in all, one of the most attractive and interesting Baroque programmes I’ve heard for a while.
