Brandenburg Concerto No. 2 in F major, BWV 1047 - Allegro moderato

Album release: February 2017

The violinist Chiara Zanisi works with the finest early music ensembles, notably the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra under Ton Koopman, with whom she has just finished a long tour performing the Six Brandenburg Concertos. She now devotes her first solo recording to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Six Sonatas for Harpsichord and Violin. Alongside her is Giulia Nuti, among the most brilliant harpsichordists and scholars in Italy, whose solo CD Les Sauvages: Harpsichords in pre-Revolutionary Paris (DHM) won a Diapason d’Or, among other awards. The kernel from which this project grew is their strongly shared idea that, in addition to great stylistic richness and invention, Bach’s music possesses an aura of magic and an almost divine form. Thus, in this valuable and elegant reading, it is clearly their intention to underline in the simplest way the grandeur of the writing. Even the choice of sound aesthetic, beautifully realised under the supervision of Fabio Framba, opts for the ‘real’ with a ‘pure’, ‘speaking’ sound, warm and full of harmonics. The attractions of this precious version of the Six Sonatas, played on a G. Gagliano violin of 1761 and a harpsichord by K. Hill, are enhanced by a bonus track: the Cantabile, un poco Adagio from the early version of Sonata VI in G major.

Sortie en février 2017

La violoniste Chiara Zanisi travaille avec les principaux ensemble de musique de chambre, et notamment l’Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra de Ton Koopman, avec lequel elle vient d’achever une longue tournée avec les six Concertos brandebourgeois. Elle consacre aujourd’hui son premier enregistrement solo aux six sonates pour clavecin et violon de Johann Sebastian Bach. À ses côtés, Giulia Nuti, l’une des clavecinistes et chercheuses italiennes les plus brillantes, dont le CD Les Sauvages: Harpsichords in pre-Revolutionary Paris (DHM) a notamment remporté un Diapason d’or. Leur projet s’est développé à partir de l’idée largement admise que, outre une richesse stylistique et une invention importantes, la musique de Bach possède une aura magique et une forme presque divine. Leur intention est de souligner de la manière la plus simple, par leur lecture précise et élégante, la grandeur de l’écriture. Même le choix de l’esthétique sonore, magnifiquement réalisée sous la supervision de Fabio Framba, opte pour le « réel », avec un son « pur », « parlant », chaud et plein d’harmoniques. Les attraits de cette précieuse version des Six Sonates, jouées sur un violon de G. Gagliano (1761) et un clavecin de K. Hill, sont encore renforcés par la présence d’une plage supplémentaire : le Cantabile, un poco Adagio de la première version de la Sonate VI en sol majeur.
