The instruments
-
Stradivari violin «Ex-Tartini Ex-Vogelweith»
On loan from Solé Luthiers and the Guarneri Society
The violin at the heart of the album. From Cremona's golden age, it spent seven days in Barcelona thanks to the mediation of Solé Luthiers and the Guarneri Society; seizing that opportunity, Josep Colomé recorded this «carte blanche» with it. A masterpiece of world violin-making whose wood gives voice to the entire programme.
-
Violin by José Contreras
The work of the great Spanish luthier José Contreras, luthier to the court in Madrid. It is heard in the Bach Sarabande that closes the album.
What the critics say
La interpretación magistral de Colomé refuerza aún más las impresiones que inspira esta soberbia «Et in terra pax».
