Brilliance indéniable : The Virtuoso Violin In The Court Of Louis XV (2020)

"Alana Youssefian’s debut disc comprises accurate, idiomatic and technically accomplished accounts of selected sonatas and rococo pseudo-chamber symphonies by the French violinist Louis-Gabriel Guillemain, a pupil of Giovanni Battista Somis and a violinist at the court of Louis XV. (...) Le Bien-Aimé (violin, cello and harpsichord) provides solid support and shows commendable sensitivity to expressive melodic and harmonic detail, particularly in the Allemanda of the two-movement op.1 no.6. Ensemble interplay is excellent – sample the finale of op.14 no.2 – and cellist Matt Zucker occasionally shows his mettle in a more prominent role, notably in op.1 no.3. The resonant church acoustic and clear, natural recording serve these players well in terms of blend and balance."(thestrad.com)
