Music reviews of Corelli - Violin Sonatas Op. 5, Nos. 7-12 / Fernandez, Wilson

Music Review: Historically Informed Performance Practice in Its Purest Form
Rating: 5 Stars

Arcangelo Corelli (1653 - 1713): Violin Sonatas Op. 5,7-12 [incl. "La Follia"]. Performed by Francois Fernandez, violin; Glen Wilson, harpsichord. Recorded from 20th to 22nd March 2006 at Bronnbach Monastery, Wertheim, Germany. First published in 2007 as Naxos 8.557799. Total playing time: 62'53".

Having recorded the first six sonatas from Corelli's famous Opus V set with Lucy van Dael and Bob van Asperen and partly using an organ as continuo instrument, Naxos have gone on to record and release the last twelve sonatas from this cycle with Francois Fernandez, who was for many years concert master of La Petite Bande, and American harpsichordist Glen Wilson, who is a professor at the University of Würzburg in Germany and has made many CDs, including a series for Warner's "Das Alte Werk". Wilson uses a two-manual Flemish harpsichord, a decision which he intelligently defends in his essay in the booklet, and the sonic results demonstrate the validity of his argument. I nowhere missed a violoncello as a second continuo instrument. Francois Fernandez plays a violin by Guarneri from the year 1690 and has opted for a diapason of a' = 400 Hertz, which approximates to what was generally adopted in Rome around 1700 and sounds fine on this recording, although I do think that Fernandez' playing is, despite its heady virtuosity, on occasion rather strict and austere. Both instruments, and the violin in particular, have been captured by the Bavarian Radio engineers very directly, almost over-directly perhaps (one hears occasionally a number of noises such as gasping or knocking, apart from a distant church bell). The entire CD seems to be accompanied by a soft electronic hum; this never interferes with the music but it can be slightly irritating when listening on headphones, particularly between tracks. But at Naxos's amazing price this is still a great bargain which should make sure Naxos receives the thanks of all early music fans.

Additional note: Fernandez and Wilson play the original Corelli versions with the exception of Sonate IX, where they include Geminiani's ornaments. I didn't find these obtrusive.
