About

Following on from the critical success of their debut recording (RES10112), Fantasticus release their second album for Resonus Classics with a selection of French Baroque chamber works.

Here, the trio – Rie Kimura (baroque violin), Robert Smith (viola da gamba) and Guillermo Brachetta (harpsichord) – perform an exquisite programme of French Baroque chamber works focusing on a theme of ‘musical portraits’. The recording includes popular and lesser-known works by composers such as Jean-Philippe Rameau, Marin Marais, François Francoeur, Jean-Marie Leclair, Jacques Duphly and Louis-Antoine Dornel.

Each member of the trio is a polished period player. Their performances are confident, stylish, beautifully articulated and convey a sense of genuine rapport...Definitely a collector's item.

a very enjoyable follow-up

They combine discrete, soloistic virtuosity with a keen mutual rapport, conversing sensitively and adding complementary embellishment
