Jean-marie Leclair: Sonatas For 2 Violins, Jean-Marie Leclair / Florian Deuter / Monica Waisman, Number of Discs: 1. Jean-Marie Leclair, ordinaire de la musique du roi in the court orchestra of Louis XV, was considered "The Corelli of France" by his contemporaries - and not without reason. The duos for two violins without basso continuo stand out in his oeuvre, not least because of their unusual instrumentation. In them, Leclair introduced a new art of violin-playing that combined Italian virtuosity with the elegance of French dance. On this release, two proven baroque specialists, Florian Deuter and Monica Waisman, perform a selection of these spectacular works.
