Lovers of obscure Italian Baroque music (and who isn't?) will delight in this generous and expertly performed program of Venetian rarities. Highlights include Tomaso Albinoni's Sinfonia a Quattro in F featuring two rhythmically diverse outer Allegros as well as an extended, often treacherously slow second-movement Andante, replete with the composer's signature use of pizzicato strings. Vivaldi's pensive Trio for lute, violin, and basso continuo also is quite stunning, particularly its inner Larghetto, which possibly served as a study or model for the famous Largo of his later Lute Concerto in D major. Of the quicker movements, the final Allegro of Giovanni Platti's Trio Sonata in G minor stands out, with violinist Stefano Montanari and cellist Mauro Valli's sweeping gestures uniting perfectly in maintaining the work's driving momentum. Immediately following Platti's Allegro is the opening Allegro of Vivaldi's Cello Concerto in D minor, a complementary if not more animated work that features some of the master's most arcane writing. Here, in addition to her many inspired solos, cellist Valli joins with the orchestra in frequent boisterous romps, occasionally--and humorously--brought to an abrupt halt by Montanari's violin ritards. Arts' sound provides a favorable acoustic space while slightly favoring the soloists in the concertos. Recommended. --John Greene, ClassicsToday.com |
