About
Another skill possessed by Biondi is his deft assemblage of programmes, whether for concert or for CD and this new release of early eighteenth-century violin works touches on the impact that Corelli's music had on music-making in Dresden, Venice, Padua, London and Amsterdam, to name just a few of the destinations affected as the fame of 'Arcangelo Bolognese' fanned out from Rome across Europe. With a continuo team from his Europa Galante ensemble (Antonio Fantinuoli, cello, Giangiacomo Pinardi, theorbo, and Paola Poncet, harpsichord), Biondi plays sonatas by Vivaldi, Corelli, Geminiani, Tartini and Locatelli and a Ciaccona by Veracini. Recorded in Rome, on an instrument which was originally made for the Florentine court of Ferdinando de Medici (and which, over time, has survived all manner of vicissitudes on its journey to Rome), Fabio Biondi expertly captures the flavour of the eighteenth-century violin sonata.
