4 Concertos for Violin (Archets De Paris, Vieux) [Digipak]

One of the celebrities of eighteen-century Parisian society and the darling of the salons was the black composer Saint-George. He produced 215 works, which unfortunately, for two centuries suffered from cultural apartheid. Saint-George was also a famous fencer, and his concertos show similar skills: daring, virtuosity, exciting duels between the violinist and his instrument. He allows the interpreter great freedom, so the artist's 'reading' is of vital importance - which is why the works on this recording are performed by three soloists, each giving his own interpretation of the music of Saint-George. Coqueluche des LumiÃ¨res, ce compositeur Ã la peau noire qui lÃ©gue Ã la postÃ©ritÃ© 215 opus, a Ã©tÃ© victime d'un apartheid culturel de deux siÃ¨cles. Cet escrimeur, dont la presse cÃ©lÃ¨ bre l'ingÃ©niositÃ© et les audaces, transformait ses piÃ¨ces en un vÃ©ritable duel entre le virtuose et son instrument. Laissant l'initiative Ã ses interprÃ¨tes, la Â«lectureÂ» de l'artiste est donc essentielle. C'est pourquoi ce programme dÃ©veloppe trois perceptions de Saint-George.
