Concerti
Sophie Gent,, Kathleen Kajioka, Ensemble Masques
"We wanted to record Bach's violin concertos with Sophie Gent ever since she joined Ensemble Masques in 2003", says Olivier Fortin, harpsichordist and founder of the ensemble that explores Baroque music with such passion. "Sophie is an exceptional musician with an extremely convincing, honest and unpretentious style." Another pillar of the group is Kathleen Kajioka , who is soloist in Telemann's viola concerto. "Telemann is a fantastic storyteller", she says, "who devises a plot, characters, costumes and props – and leaves it to you to put it all together." Two sinfonias by Albinoni connect the concertos and put every musician in the ensemble in the spotlight.
