GASPARD FRITZ (1716-1783): 5 Violin Sonatas, Op. 3.

Description: Fritz spent his entire career in the musical backwater of Geneva but his sonatas are fine examples of the "mixed taste" which used French, Italian and German styles to construct a unique personal style. Plenty of virtuosity too; some called him the "devil violinist of Geneva"! Plamena Nikitassova (violin), Maya Amrein (cello), Jörg-Andreas Bötticher (harpsichord).
