Georg Noeldeke with his ensemble Les deux Violes plus is particularly fond of the rococo composer Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689 - 1755). With the Sonates pour Viole op. 50 (Paris 1734) he presents what is now the third album dedicated to the rediscovery of this composer's works for viola da gamba.
Together with Thorsten Bleich (theorbo & baroque guitar) and Helen Buck (violoncello & recorder) he has recorded the five sonatas for viola da gamba (or violoncello) and basso continuo of this group of works as well as the corresponding trio for treble instrument, viola da gamba and b.c..
The result is a colorful florilegium of the galant style, which this composer masters with somnambulistic certainty and makes it difficult to interrupt the listening pleasure before the last chord has faded away. Absolutely resistance-free and at the same time rarely witty music: "easy listening" at the highest level.
Again, this is a premiere recording on the viola da gamba as a complete cycle. Other recordings prefer the cello as solo instrument in this group of works. But again the unexpectedly charming timbres of the viola da gamba, for which this repertoire already heralds the late period of its soloistic development, are revealed.
Boismortier is an individual spirit of the Rococo: never harsh, sinister or ostensibly virtuosic, but courtly elegant, light, perfectly formed, balanced, open-minded and always honestly amiable. This is how this music resounds and in it Boismortier's essence, whose acquaintance is definitely worth making.
