Music reviews of Locatelli: Concerti grossi, Op. 1
Music Review: another excellent baroque release from Harmonia Mundi
Rating: 5 Stars
Harmonia Mundi's discs are not cheap, but so far I haven't been disappointed by any of their superb baroque releases. This Locatelli recording is yet another example of HM's excellence in this musical category.
Locatelli, who was a violin prodigy, was most noted for his concertos for that instrument. These concerti grossi, which were written when the composer was in his 20's, are not the virtuoso showpieces for which he became best known. They instead reflect the influence of Corelli's concerti grossi - they're beautifully scored and filled with flights of musical imagination. It's practically impossible not to tap your foot along with the allemande of the tenth concerto, which opens the disc (and which the liner notes mistakenly identify as no. 11).
By the way, not all the concerti are included here - the Freiburger orchestra selected nos. 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, & 10 for inclusion on this one disc overview.
Interested buyers might want to check the highly laudatory reviews in Gramophone and Classics Today.
Warmly recommended.
