In 2024, an extraordinary world premiere recording of Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-George’s works for piano and violin will be released. A virtuoso musician, renowned fencer, and passionate advocate for equality, Saint-George was born in Guadeloupe as the son of a noble plantation owner and an enslaved woman. He became a key figure in the Parisian arts scene and is said to have influenced Mozart.
Pianist Jens Barnieck brings this fascinating music to life on a historic fortepiano from the Schiedmayer Foundation. In addition to three newly recorded sonatas, this album features selections from a collection of manuscripts attributed to Saint-George—some echoing his symphonies and melodies.
This recording invites you to rediscover the brilliance and elegance of Saint-George’s captivating sound world!
