Recorded for the first time, these manuscript trio sonatas reflect Giuseppe Torelli’s baroque fantasy and inventiveness. They present a little-known facet of the work of the Bolognese master, who is increasingly recognized as a precursor who played a leading role in the development of instrumental music.

“The success of this recording is undoubtedly due to the virtuosity and musical feeling of the two violinists (Sue-Ying Koang and Jasmine Eudeline), as well as the equally musical intelligence of the continuo, Jean Halsdorf (cello), Parsival Castro (theorbo guitar), Vincent Bernhardt (harpsichord).”
Jean-Marc Warszawski, musicologie.org, 2025/05/07
“This Torelli album is a pleasing and important recording that brings an important Italian and Baroque composer back to the fore. Classy!”
Bruno Chiron, Bla Bla Blog, 2025/03/25
“La Chapelle Saint-Marc displays a real power, a dynamism that borders on virtuosity. Vincent Bernhardt draws us into a veritable musical whirlwind”.
Marc Laborde, Utmisol, 19/02/2025
“As with the previous Torelli program, one is captivated by the beauty of the colors, the elegance and rhythmic suppleness of the ensemble and the inwardness of the slow movements. A new success”.
