Style fantastique

Über die CD

William Dongois (cornetto), Carsten Lohff (harpsichord, organ), Eric Bellocq (lute, theorbo)

‘Style fantastique’ is the latest record of the ensemble ‘Le Concert Brisé’, lead by William Dongois (cornetto). It is the complete op. 3 album of 6 sonatas, originally composed for violin and continuo by Giovanni Pandolfi-Mealli (1620 - ca. 1669). Dongois impressively demonstrates his utter mastery as a cornetto virtuoso: he makes this music sound with a lightness as if it had never been composed for a different instrument.

In distinction to other cornetto recordings, the one at hand is a true live recording.
