JOHANN
SEBASTIAN BACH &
ELISABETH
JACQUET DE LA GUERRE
· Irene
Roldàn, harpsichord
· Jeffrey Cohan,
baroque flute
Guest
Spanish harpsichordist Irene Roldán
from Basel, Switzerland and baroque
flutist Jeffrey Cohan explore
connections between Johann Sebastian
Bach and French composers such as
Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre and
Louis Couperin, from whose
innovations Bach was to benefit.
Harpsichord solos including La
Guerre’s Prélude in D Minor, La
Zaïde by Pancrace Royer, and the
Suite in F Major by Louis Couperin
will complement flute sonatas in E
Major and G Minor by Johann
Sebastian Bach alongside the
performers’ transcriptions of Bach’s
violin sonata in C Minor and the
violin sonata in D Major by É.
Jacquet de La Guerre
Born 20 years before Johann
Sebastian Bach and a favorite
composer of Louis XIV, Élisabeth
Jacquet de La Guerre made many
important contributions in her
compositions both for solo keyboard
and in the development of the
cantata, all the while juxtaposing
and integrating the distinct French
and Italian styles, setting the
stage for similar techniques and
forms that Bach was later to use
extensively and develop further.
Award-winning
harpsichordist Irene Roldán
(www.ireneroldan.com)
was born in southern Spain in 1997.
Described by the press as one of the
most prominent Spanish
harpsichordists on the international
scene (ABC Sevilla), Irene currently
lives and works in Basel,
Switzerland. She gained
international recognition in 2021,
when she won first prize, never
previously awarded in this
competition, as well as the audience
prize at the III. International
Harpsichord Competition «Città di
Milano». In the same year, her
ensemble Flor Galante secured the
first prize at the IV. International
Bach Competition in Berlin. One year
later, Irene was honored with the
prestigious Bach Prize and an
additional special award at the
XXXIII. International Bach
Competition held in Leipzig,
Germany.

In 1676, Thomas
Mace expresses our musical aspirations: "I
have been more Sensibly, Fervently, and
Zealously Captivated, and drawn into Divine
Raptures, and Contemplations, by Those
Unexpressible Rhetorical, Uncontroulable
Perswasions, and Instructions of Musicks
Divine Language."
Sloane
wrote in about 1794 that "There must be an
Order and just Proportion, Intricacy with
Simplicity in the Component parts, Variety
in the Mass, and Light and Shadow in the
whole, so as to produce the varied
sensations of gaiety and melancholy, of
wildness and even surprise and wonder…"
As Thomas Mace says in 1676: "…When we come
to be Masters… we can command all manner of
Time, at our own Pleasures; we Then take
Liberty for Humour and good Adornment-sake,
to Break Time; sometimes Faster, sometimes
Slower, as we perceive, the Nature of the
Thing Requires, which…adds much Grace and
Luster to the Performance."
