Info for Les Défis de Monsieur Forqueray

In her debut recording for harmonia mundi, Lucile Boulanger explores the facets of Antoine Forqueray’s career as a virtuoso instrumentalist: adept in a wide range of Italian repertoire and skilled at transcribing works originally intended for the violin, he could try it on for size, as it were, before settling on a different medium.

With the viola da gamba, he extended the technique of playing it far beyond the norm, confronting the performer with fiendishly difficult challenges… which have been met brilliantly by the hugely talented foursome heard here.

Lucile Boulanger, viola da gamba
Pierre Gallon, harpsichord
Claire Gautrot-Gobillard, viola da gamba
Romain Falik, theorbo
