Beschreibung
Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689-1755) was a French Baroque composer writing
a wealth of instrumental and vocal music. He was one of the first composers
to have no patrons, having been awarded a royal licence to engrave music in
1724, and became a wealthy man from the sales of his music. Boismortier was a
prolific composer and he, alongside Rameau, lived through the Rococo age of
Louis XV both writing music of great elegance and sophistication which proved
popular with performers and audiences alike. Sonata in B flat major for
violoncello & double bass is in four contrasting movements and was edited by
American bassist-composer Bertram Turetzky. The opening Andante is dramatic
and confident with effective canonic interest, contrasting a more dance-like
Gavotta full of rhythmic energy and momentum. A lyrical Andante in G minor is
elegant and stylish, only 12 bars long, ending with an exciting and exuberant
Presto abounding with good humour and cheerful invention.
