Music reviews of Corelli: Violin Sonatas, Op. 5, Nos. 1-12 - Complete

Music Review: Playing is better than the music
Rating: 4 Stars

Corelli wrote at least two pieces of music that will last forever: his Christmas Concerto and the Sonata XII on this set. Now, he wrote lots of other fine and charming music (and I have it and enjoy it), but, as another reviewer says, Corelli often falls into the background music grab bag. Lovely and fun, pleasant, well-composed and sprightly, but not enough to hold your attention for an extended period.

And much of the music on these two discs falls into the same category. These sonatas have their moments, but to me at least (a non-performer) too many of them are a tad characterless. However, the playing is sensational. Manze clearly demonstrates why violinists love them. The ear focuses on that violin, with good reason. It is violent, raspy, poetic, exhilarating, and jubilant. Rippingly fast and achingly slow, Manze can send chills up your spine. But the harpsichord is also incredible. Savoring this has been a joy, as two world class musicians work together like a pair jazz improvisers, twisting and leaping and igniting.

Their performance of La Follia, the famous Sonata number 12, will send those chills up your spine, down your arms, and out through your toes. Exhilarating is too tame a word for this divine treat. I am not a Baroque expert, but a guy who's listened to a lot of this music with pleasure. And this CD will have me looking for their other collaborations.

Description of Corelli: Violin Sonatas, Op. 5, Nos. 1-12 - Complete

All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Corelli's Op. 5 Violin Sonatas have always been admired by chamber music fans; there are a couple of good recordings of them already available. But this new one by Baroque specialist and virtuoso Andrew Manze and harpsichordist Richard Egarr presents the sonatas in such a bright, exciting, and improvisatory light that they seem brand new. During the composer's lifetime, these sonatas were widely played and tremendously influential; there's a good chance that it was assumed that virtuosi took what was written on the page as a starting point for embellishing and sheer showing off. Manze is breathtaking--fast, articulate, conscious of the genuinely good tunes some of these sonatas contain--and his variances from the written music are thrilling. Egarr knows how to embellish too, and he matches Manze every step of the way. If you're wondering if 131 minutes of only two instruments can keep your interest, don't worry. This will. --Robert Levine
