Description:

Poggia's "Unaccompanied Art"! The guardian angel of the baroque violin. One of the best baroque violinists of our time, Rachel Podger is an original member of the Floridium and Palladian Ensembles, concert mistress of the English Concerts, guest director of the Age of Intimacy Orchestra, and since 2007, music director of Brecon Baroque, which she founded herself. Rachel Podger is one of the finest baroque violinists of our time, and this is her first "unaccompanied works" since the historic recordings of J.S. Bach's "Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin" in 1998 and 1999 and Telemann's "12 Fantasias" recorded in 2001. The "Unaccompanied Works" is a "Guardian Angel" with music by Bach, Matteis, Tartini, Pisendel, and Biber! The "Guardian Angel" is a collection of unaccompanied works by Bach, Matteis, Tartini, Pisendel, and Biber, featuring special tuning techniques such as the scordatura, bowing techniques, counterpoint textures, and heavy notes such as double, triple, and quadruple stops. The "Guardian Angel," a collection of unaccompanied works played by Podger, is deeply imbued with the passion and challenge of "unaccompanied violin" music in Germany, Italy, Austria, and England in the late 17th century, by composers of the same generation as J.S. Bach. Rachel Podger performs "The Art of Solo Violin" on the famous Pesarinius instrument.Baroque violin's "guardian angel" descends here and now --! Tokyo M-Plus
