  • Description

    Kuijken's recording shows a radically new view of the well-known work - and this entirely within the framework of historical performance practice!

    Firstly, the instrumentation here is chamber music, so not a single part is doubled, and secondly, instead of a conventional violoncello, a violoncello da spalla, a shoulder cello, is used, which has an effect on the sound.

    "La Petite Bande have always boasted a wonderfully alive string timbre......" Gramophone Magazine

    "La Petite Bande's performance is a pleasure and a treat...." Musicweb International
