Rare Unaccompanied Works for Baroque Violin

Product Description Though Bach’s set of six ‘Sonatas and Partitas’ represents the pinnacle of writing for the solo violin, the Baroque repertoire was rich in compositions for the unaccompanied violin, much of which remains little explored. On this recording Augusta McKay Lodge, hailed as “the real thing, a true virtuoso” (Seen and Heard), explores masters of the genre such as Biber, Locatelli and Pisendel but delves deeper to include the impassioned works of Nicola Matteis, the Franco-Italian warmth of Thomas Baltzar and a series of other long-overshadowed works by their contemporaries. Review ‘…great violin playing, which Lodge delivers consistently, carefully, and confidently throughout this 68-minute program.’ –Classicstoday.com WQKR Best of 2018 (So Far) –July 2018
