Composer/Series:  A French Odyssey - Music for two cellos by Rameau, Barriere, Corrette, Boismortier, Berteau & Patouart

  • Description

    The debut recording by a young but distinguished French-Italian Baroque ensemble, UnderStories, whose focus is on repertoire with dark and unusual instrumentation. This first disc from the group focuses on the rise of the cello as a solo instrument in France.

    The ferment of the Enlightenment, the early signs of the Revolution and the intellectual debate on colonialism fuel this French odyssey.
    During the Age of Exploration, France experienced an unprecedented cultural fervor. Trade routes and distant cultures enriched its identity. Exotic sounds and rhythms shaped both noble salons and concert halls. In this quest for new sonorities, by the mid-18th century, the cello finally gained prominence in France, replacing the viola da gamba, which had dominated European music for centuries.

    The emphasis on deep sonorities is the culmination of this recording, featuring compositions by Louis-Francois-Joseph Patouart and Martin Bertin. The latter's story is particularly significant, embodying the spirit of the recording: he founded the French cello school, despite having started his career with the viola da gamba
