About This Item
We have wanted to record Bach's violin concertos with Sophie Gent ever since she joined Ensemble Masques in 2003, says Olivier Fortin, harpsichordist and founder of the ensemble that explores Baroque music with such passion. InchSophie is an exceptional musician with an extremely convincing, honest and unpretentious styleInch. Another pillar of the group is Kathleen Kaji, who is the soloist for Telemann's viola concerto. InchTelemann is a fantastic storyteller,Inch she says, Inchwho provides a plot, characters, costumes and props - and leaves you to put it all togetherInch. Two sinfonie by Albinoni link the concertos and shine a spotlight on each musician in the ensemble. Album Tracks 1. Concerto pour Violon en La Mineur, BWV 1041~I. [...] 2.
