//J. S. Bach
Concerti a violino certato
The world of Baroque music, sterilized by marketing, technicality, and competition, greatly benefits from the emergence of musicians like
Amandine Beyer. She is a brilliant virtuoso, but she knows how to give others a voice; her joy is neither nervousness nor a sales pitch. Never capricious,
she never renounces being herself, her personal style, her taste for long phrasing. Music in short (even in Bach, we might add).

Booklet
Resmusica | Richard Holding
«With the help of a superb recording, the musicians deliver a performance that prioritizes a clear and crisp polyphonic and contrapuntal texture, without solely emphasizing the concertante section. A pleasing freshness emanates from this minimalist ensemble, where each instrumentalist plays with passion, energy, and commitment, without ever lapsing into exaggeration. Amandine Beyer is as magnificent as ever; her playing is breathtaking, her phrasing fluid and subtle. Undoubtedly, this album, with its replayability, should not only leave an indelible mark but perhaps also mark the beginning of a renewal in the art and practice of performing Bach concertos.»
