Amandine Beyer (barokviool)

CAVALIÈRE SEULE

Her previous passage still resonates with the lucky attendees. When Amandine Beyer lets her fingers frolic over the slender violin neck, she not only seduces the melody but also the entire audience. In the meantime, her recording of Bach's sonatas and partitas has received nothing but enthusiastic reviews. While other performers approach this top work - which sometimes interweaves up to four voices in one violin line - as a sacred mountain that is difficult to climb, Beyer manages to make the many dances it contains really sway and jump. The Frenchwoman herself explains that baroque music is the language in which she can express the most. And how! Like a true Scheherazade, Beyer seems to whisper entire novels in your ears in which tenderness, humor, passion and tragedy follow each other. Very appropriately, the Baroque violinist also includes a sonata by Pisendel, the greatest violinist of his generation and probably chosen by Bach himself to create the Sei Solo.

'The best thing is that Beyer not only lets Bach sing, but also lets dance. Respect!' (De Standaard)
