de Croes: La Sonate Égarée

BarrocoTout

CKD 597

BarrocoTout makes its recording debut following a prize-winning performance at the highly respected biennial York Early Music International Young Artists Competition. • After a hard-fought competition Philip Hobbs, Chairman of the Judges and Linn’s Chief Producer, said: “The level of musical performance has been exceptional… BarrocoTout are an extraordinary ensemble.” • Formed at the Royal Conservatoires in Brussels, the ensemble has chosen to champion the music of a hitherto neglected Belgian composer: Henri-Jacques de Croes. • Treading a path between French, Italian and German influences, de Croes produced music that was courtly yet with enlightenment aspirations. • The trio sonatas of Op. 5 were written with a touch of Rococo in mind and a strong Italianate flavour. • With only one copy in existence the Six Sonates have hitherto led only a shadowy existence and were regarded as ‘lost’ for many years. • With this recording BarrocoTout aims to quash the myth that ‘unknown is unloved’.
