Vivaldi: Violin Concertos
Release Date: October 01, 2002 SK87733 CD Album "Sony has a winner with this baroque fiddler, Carmignola. He's a good looking guy -- a tall, dark, bearded Italian; what's not to like?-- and he plays an equally sexy baroque violin. If Carmignola and Marcon had been around in the '60s, Vivaldi wouldn't have got that reputation for writing 'wallpaper music.' "Every movement of these six concertos has a different color, mood, tempo or other distinguishing characteristic. The playing is so easy, so musical, so sensual that you have to keep reminding yourself that this enchanting stuff was once called 'hippie musak.'" ---By T. HASHIMOTO, Special to The Examiner For this new recording, Marcon and Carmignola have selected six more concertos for violin and orchestra from the composer's unpublished works. They include the Concerto in B Minor, RV 386; Concerto in D Minor, RV 235; Concerto in F Major, RV 298; Concerto in E-Flat Major, RV 258; Concerto in B Minor, RV 398; and Concerto in E-Flat Major, RV 251. The technical limitations of the baroque instruments do not hamper Carmignola's ability to play expressively or with a wide coloristic palette. The continuo, led by Marcon at the harpsichord or organ, also offers robust variety in its textures and its improvisations. Featuring the Venice Baroque Orchestra. |
