Mojca Gal; Ensemble Ad Fontes - Works By Giuseppe Tartini & The Count Of St. Germain

To call the Comte de St Germain (ca 1710-1784) - by the way only one of his numerous names - a dazzling character does not even begin to capture the life, work and barely comprehensible person!

The recording on COVIELLO deals here with the violinist and composer (undoubtedly one of his more serious biographical facets) and combines his violin sonatas published by John Walsh in London in 1750 and 1758 respectively with music by another composing violinist, Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770), whose life is also shrouded in legend.
