Boismortier: Cello Sonatas - Bakamjian, Brooklyn Baroque (CD)

Brooklyn Baroque’s David Bakamjian performs six cello sonatas by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1789–1755), one of the most prolific composers of the French Baroque. Also on the program are two trio sonatas for cello and flute, featuring flutist Andrew Bolotowsky. The music brilliantly blends the French and Italian styles, balancing lyricism and drama—with plenty of luxuriant textures throughout. Performed on period instruments.
