Sarah McMahon (Cello) - Silas Wollston (Cembalo) - Clare Salaman (Hurdy-gurdy) // Leclair was a master of fusing Italian and French idioms, conjoining the lyricism of the former with the dance momentum of the latter. Nowhere is this better exemplified than in his 3rd book of violin sonatas. They embody rich melodic beauty, drone and rustic elements - most vividly in the Tambourin of the C major sonata in which a hurdy-gurdy is employed - and demand tour de force virtuosity.
