One cannot overstate the importance of Arcangelo Corelli, legendary violinist and father of the sonata. A generation later, Antonio Vivaldi delivers pages of diabolical difficulty but also of irresistible melodic and rhythmic seduction.

Another genius, perhaps the greatest of all, acknowledges this Italian supremacy while sublimating it in his incomparable way: Johann Sebastian Bach.

Two immense musicians resurrect this essential chapter of music history: violinist everywhere acclaimed for the beauty of her sonority and virtuosity never demonstrative, Amandine Beyer finds a longtime collaborator, Pierre Hantaï, unquestionably one of the great masters of the harpsichord.
