“Vincent Bernhardt’s contribution to the musicological deciphering of the sources and interpretation of the five violin sonatas is considerable. […] Above all, he puts forward the hypothesis of a Vivaldian attribution for the G minor sonata, supported by convincing thematic correspondences […] so much so that the Vivaldian authorship of these pages is being examined by the editorial committee of the Venetian catalog.”
Claude-Roger Travers, Diapason n° 708, 2022/02
“The musicians in this production come up with exciting juxtapositions, making the differences between the compositions abundantly clear. Another characteristic is the seriousness of the interpretative concern. This ensemble is not about stripping, not about racing, but about making music in a vital, gestural and fulfilling way.”
Norbert Tischer, Pizzicato, 2021/12/02
“One can only be enthusiastically grateful to harpsichordist Vincent Bernhardt for this ingenious find and for his eventual, equally ingenious, contributions.”
Ferruccio Nuzzo, Grey Panthers, 2021/12/01
“One can simply enjoy this fine, well-played music and imagine onself at the open court of Frederick-Augustus I of Saxony.”
