Theotime Langlois De Swarte & Les Ombres - Leclair Vivaldi & Locatelli: Violin Concertos (CD)

Details: Théotime Langlois de Swarte continues his exploration of the violin repertory of the early eighteenth century. On this program, he highlights the links between three leading composers for the instrument, whose popularity was burgeoning at the time: Vivaldi, father of the violin concerto, and two of his most brilliant younger contemporaries, Locatelli and Leclair. A recording which, beyond the interplay of echoes and personal connections, showcases the extraordinary versatility of an instrument as virtuosic as it is poetic.
