Marc Sabbah

Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) Fantasia 3 for violin without bass, TXV 40:16 Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) Suite No. 4 for solo cello, BWV 1010 On the viola, Marc Sabbah explores the expressive possibilities of the Baroque repertoire for solo instrument. Les Fantaisies for violin without bass by Georg Philipp Telemann illustrate the freedom and inventiveness of a composition liberated from accompaniment, where virtuosity and melodic eloquence combine to suggest harmony and polyphony. Avec la Suite No. 4 for solo cello, Johann Sebastian Bach brings this form to a peak of formal balance and contrapuntal richness.
