Brussels Trio Sonatas

Diapason magazine (March 2021): 5/5 stars "Cinquante-cinq minutes bourrées de charme qui donnent le sourire et l'envie de retrouver bien vite le Projet Boussu" Description: This recording was done in the scope of a two-year research project performed by instrument maker and organologist Dr. Geerten Verberkmoes at KASK & Conservatorium, the school of arts of HOGENT and howest (Belgium). Trio sonatas of the eighteenth-century Brussels composers De Croes, Van Maldere and Godecharle are played by an all-bowed-string ensemble, consisting of Dr. Ann Cnop (violin), Shiho Ono (violin) and Mathilde Wolfs (cello). They use replica instruments built by Verberkmoes, made after structurally unmodified examples of the Brussels-based maker Benoit Joseph Boussu (1703-1773), preserved at the collection of the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels. A lot of Brussels on this cd! © ℗ 2020 Quintessence Records BVBA
