Bach, Vitali and Vivaldi

Long-term artistic collaborators and friends Théotime Langlois de Swarte and Justin Taylor have forged a musical partnership distinguished by its technical and expressive virtuosity. They dive deeply into uplifting works by Vivaldi and JS Bach before crowning their recital with a sonata based on the famous Baroque bassline, La Follia, by Vivaldi’s older contemporary Tomaso Antonio Vitali.
