The trio Les Barocudas (Marie Nadeau-Tremblay, Tristan Best, and Nathan Mondry, joined by several other excellent baroque musicians) has the mission of offering a virtuoso baroque repertoire in a renewed way. This album dedicated to Italian works of the 17th century includes works by Castello Legrenzi, Grillo, and several others. These composers were considered innovative at the time, and it’s easy to see why. Baroque musical conventions are very present, but the interpretation given to these pieces is like a breath of fresh air. We have a lot of fun listening to this album, and we discover just as much. The tracks flow together harmoniously and offer a wide variety of ambiance and sound textures. All of the works offered are instrumental, but the recorder and the violin interact, even sing, with great virtuosity. There are also complex and virtuoso improvisations that are judiciously integrated into the proposed repertoire.
