Johannes Leertouwer c.s.
The string quartets of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges – one of the few composers of colour who was able to build a successful career in his time – move with a natural elegance. Beneath that light touch lies a keen sense of timing and theatrical finesse. Together with talented young string players, Johannes Leertouwer explores the nuances of exquisite counterpoint, in search of the ultimate balance between stylistic fidelity and artistic freedom.
