LECLAIR, J.-M.: Violin Sonatas, Op. 1, Nos. 5-8 (Butterfield, McGillivray, Cummings) |
Adrian Butterfield, Alison McGillivray and Laurence Cummings bring a wealth of
expertise to their elegant interpretations of Leclair’s First Book of Violin Sonatas in which
the French composer drew on Corelli’s path-breaking examples. While enlivening French
chamber music with Italianate vivacity, Leclair also revels in the ornamentation, love of
lyricism and touches of pastoral colour characteristic of his native land, while nodding
here to the Scottish style of fiddling or there to the gentle sound of a shepherd’s bagpipe.
Volume 1 (Sonatas Nos. 1–4) are available on Naxos 8.570888.
