Description
Known for its daring and youthful performances, the ensemble Les Barocudas makes its ATMA Classique recording debut with La Peste, a musical journey that explores the timely topic of the plague through the lens of 17th century composers.
The members of the Montreal-based trio, Marie Nadeau-Tremblay (violin), Ryan Gallagher (viola da gamba), and Nathan Mondry (harpsichord and organ), have compiled a program in which each piece corresponds with an episode or aspect of the 17th century pandemic known as The Great Plague. All of the composers selected for this album — Schmelzer, Castello, Fontana, Pandolfi, Rossi, Farina — were violinists, and all of them were affected, some fatally, by the epidemic.
