Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges (1745-99) : Three Sonatas for Violin & Fortepiano, Op. 1b. McIntosh, Andrew; Vanhauwaert, Steven.

Description: Violinist Andrew McIntosh and fortepianist Steven Vanhauwaert collaborated on a historically important volume of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint Georges's Op. 1b sonatas on Olde Focus Recordings. Interest in Bologne's music has surged in recent years, exposing contemporary audiences to his refined catalogue. These works were published in 1781 during the height of his career, are in two movements each, and reflect Bologne's grounding in the elegant grave of late 18th century aesthetics.
