Madrigal, Op. 35 by Gabriel Faure

The 18th-century artists, such as Bach, Haydn, and Mozart, wearing servant uniforms for the most part of this century, towards its end made efforts to emancipate themselves as artists (Beethoven was largely an embodiment of such emancipation). In the following century this trend led to another extreme – the universal cult of the artist as envoy of the gods.
	The Enlightened Virtuoso is an attempt to show the artist-performer beginning to get independent in the second half of the 18th century by breaking up with the stereotype of a musician as a servant and heading towards artistic independence, in this case of the violin virtuoso soloist.
	The presented repertoire is a cross-section of styles in the Enlightenment Europe. On the one hand, one can still discern the reminiscences of the artful and ornate Baroque style and Sturm und Drang or Empfindsamer Stil inspirations, and on the other one can observe the influence of the Classical style and the first glimmers of the upcoming Romanticism. The composers are the great violinists active across Europe – Ivan Khandoshkin worked in Sankt Petersburg, Johan Helmich Roman in Stockholm, Friedrich Wilhelm Rust in Germany, Federigo Fiorillo, and Niccolo Paganini in Italy. Thus we get a full range of music in the second half of the 18th century, with all its richness and diversity.
	The recording was made by Zbigniew Pilch on a historical instrument with gut strings. The bow used is a copy of a bow from the turn of the 18th century. The interpretation of pieces is largely based on historical records concerning performance principles, including the use of articulation and fingering, adequate for performance practice in the second half of the 18th century.

2. Preludio y fuga en La menor, BWV 543  Johann Sebastian Bach  - Órgano solista

For its Borletti-Buitnoni Trust-supported 2CD release on Resonus Classics of all six Haydn Op 20 Quartets, the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam has returned to one of its first loves: Haydn.  Arguing that these works contain the germ of the whole quartet literature, the quartet commissioned new classical bows from bow maker Luis Emilio Rodríguez Carrington, based in The Hague.   Volume 1 of the set, released on 27 September 2019, includes Op 20 Nos 2, 3 & 5. Volume 2, with Op 20 Nos 1, 4 & 6, will be released in spring 2020, on Resonus Classics.  Watch a film about the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam’s search for new bows in preparation for these recordings on the BBT website.
