{"product_id":"saint-george-pecou-violin-concertos","title":"SAINT-GEORGE \u0026 PECOU: VIOLIN CONCERTOS","description":"The Chevalier de Saint-George is in many respects an exceptional figure. Born in Guadeloupe in the eighteenth century to an aristocrat and an enslaved woman, he received in Paris the education of a court gentleman: violinist, fencer, Freemason, participant in the Revolution, and conductor, he was also a composer. It is naturally to the violin that he dedicated his finest works, among which the concertos, marked by a virtuosity that is both unbridled and graceful, stand out in particular. Romuald Grimbert-Barr� and the Orchestre national de Cannes pay tribute to this extraordinary life by pairing the Op. 5 and Op. 8 concertos with Thierry P�cou's Concerto Hommage � Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-George. Through it's many biographical references, the work offers multiple poetic points of entry into the life of this singular and fascinating figure, who remains far too little known today.","brand":"APARTE","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46054993068266,"sku":"5051083228886","price":20.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/4498963-3542814.jpg?v=1780075666","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/products\/saint-george-pecou-violin-concertos","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
