Senza Basso – A Due

Beth Wenstrom, Baroque Violin
Liv Heym, Baroque Violin

From the simple elegance of early French duets to the rich harmony of 18th century Austrian sonatas for violin and viola, the variety of soundscapes in this intimate setting is surprising. The ear is kept under the illusion that a bass line is actually present, for no music would be complete without it - or would it? Music by Montéclair, Leclair, Kreutzer and Rolla.
