ANTOINE DARD (c.1720-?): 6 Sonatas for Cello and Continuo.

Description: Published in 1759, these sonatas, though still with ground bass, are dominated by melody and expressivity in which exuberant virtuosity and rhetorical extravangance mark them as quite unique in the sonata literature of the place and period. Kristin von der Goltz (cello), Hille Perl (viola da gamba), Christine Schornsheim (harpsichord).
