Description
ALBINONI. TWELVE CONCERTI GROSSI, Op. 10. Piero Toso (violin: Concertos Nos. 1-4, 6, 11 and 12), Giuliano Carmignola (violin: Nos. 5 and 7-10), I Solisti Veneti conducted by Claudio Scimone with Danielle Roi (harpsichord). Erato STU71311 2 LP Box. Includes original insert. I have this on the table as I write and I must say the playing is ever so agreeable, and the sound clear as a bell. Very favourable original review preferring this to the nearest rival I Musici account:
Here we have a new recording of the 12 works made by I Solisti Veneti conducted by Claudio Scimone. In almost every respect these performances are livelier and more delicately phrased than the more robust four-square interpretations by I Musici. On balance I prefer Scimone's account, though regret his more than occasional inclination to treat slow movements in a sentimental fashion; the temptation is great when confronted by some of Albinoni's often theatrical sighing phrases and there will be many who find his Latin manner irresistible; nevertheless, in the end it is an injustice to the music whose innate power of expression requires little or nothing in the way of artificial aids, In other respects this new recording is enormously enjoyable and projects the vitality of Albinoni's music far more successfully than the older version. The ravishing slow movements, in the nature of recitatives, of the Seventh and Eighth Concertos surely must evoke delight in the hearts of all devotees of eighteenth-century music; and these are effectively contrasted with outer movements whose irrepressible joie de vivre lift one's spirits into a realm where inflation, industrial strife and exhorbitant public transport tariffs simply never existed—at least not in the experience of their creator, I'm sure.
This is near mint with no marks to the playing surfaces, has clean labels and the box is Excellent, no pen or excess dirt, no splits or bends. Booklet is spotted but otherwise intact.
Good selection of rarities in my list this week..
