Théotime Langlois de Swarte, violin with Justin Taylor, harpsichord
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Charismatic and accomplished violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte returns to Berkeley with his ensemble partner from Le Consort, harpsichordist Justin Taylor, for a thrilling program of Baroque showpieces.
In Bach's sonatas, the keyboard rises to equal partner with the violin, as the two parts swirl and spar in buoyant counterpoint. The duo also performs an arrangement of Vivaldi's Op. 3 violin concerto in D major and programs Bach's solo keyboard arrangement of that work as a fascinating complement.
"They move as one breathing, feeling body, and it's spellbinding....there is such affinity in the way they explore harmony and touch, line and color" (The Guardian).

VIVALDI Larghetto from Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 3, No. 9
