 Poised at the convergence of 18th Century French and Italian schools, Leclair and Senaillé were the French Paganinis of their day.
 Technically challenging yet full of poetry, rhythmically varied and always dance-like, their sonatas find two fervent advocates in William Christie and Théotime Langlois de Swarte.
 Transcending generational differences, the “venerated elder statesman of early music” (Opera News) and the youthful violin prodigy join forces to help us rediscover these still unjustly neglected pages.
