Les Défis de Monsieur Forqueray


In her debut recording for harmonia mundi, Lucile Boulanger explores the facets of Antoine Forqueray's career as a virtuoso instrumentalist: adept in a wide range of Italian repertoire and skilled at transcribing works originally intended for the violin, he could try it on for size, as it were, before settling on a different medium. With the viola da gamba, he extended the technique of playing it far beyond the norm, confronting the performer with fiendishly difficult challenges… which have been met brilliantly by the hugely talented foursome heard here.

Pour son premier enregistrement chez harmonia mundi, Lucile Boulanger s'est intéressée à la figure de Forqueray l'interprète : celui dont la pratique des répertoires italiens et la transcription des oeuvres pour violon lui permettaient de se mesurer au tout‑puissant instrument afin de mieux lui résister. C'est ainsi qu'il a emmené la viole bien au-delà de ses limites, imposant aux interprètes d'insurmontables défis… relevés ici avec brio par quatre musiciens de grand talent !
