Born in Guadeloupe to an aristocratic plantation owner and a black slave, Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-George (1745-1799) was one of the most enigmatic figures in 18th century Paris: one of the best violinists and one of the most popular composers in France, but also a heartthrob, an excellent fencer and swimmer. In fact, his biography almost resembles that of a character from Bridgerton. Jens Barnieck (fortepiano) and Jeanette Pitkevica (violin) present a selection of printed sonatas and manuscript pieces.
