Composer: Nicolò Paganini
Artist: Luigi Attademo (Guitar)
Nicolò Paganini’s works for guitar were only published in their entirety in 1989. The Genoese musician was a sensation during his lifetime and is still counted among the greatest violinists of all time, yet he was also an excellent guitarist. At the other end of the compositional spectrum to his works for violin, Paganini’s guitar works have a more intimate feel; not intended for the concert hall, they are often free from the virtuosic display that was typical of solo works of the era.

The Ghiribizzi collection contains a charm and simplicity appropriate to the musical proficiency and development of a young guitar student, concentrating on areas such as ornamentation, scalic exercises and pedal notes. The 37 Sonatas are a collection of two-movement pieces (with the exception of No.11 and Nos. 34–37); among the movements are charismatic minuets, mellow Andantinos and lilting waltzes. A further wealth of compositional variation can be found in the Guitar works MS85–105. The Grande Sonata, one of Paganini's most popular works, originally employed the violin as an accompaniment to the guitar; this collection provides a performance of the Sonata for solo guitar -- a real treat. The use of a period guitar for this recording adds a special quality to the collection.
Tracklist in the comment description.

The Nocturne is a romantic piano piece in which a nocturnal, romantic atmosphere is expressed, where perfumed melodies float serenely over a calmly murmuring accompaniment.-Credit where credit is due: the inventor of the genre is the Irish composer John Field, who made fame as a pianist of his own works. It needed the genius of Chopin to perfect the genre to the highest artistic level: Chopin's Nocturnes are the archetypes of romantic piano music, and count among his best loved works.

Among the contemporaries we hear beautiful specimens of Kalkbrenner, Pleyel, Alkan and others.-Played on fortepianos from the time of composition like Broadwood, Pleyel and Érard pianos by expert Bart van Oort, who draws unexpected colours from these wonderful instruments, thus bringing us back to the salons of the 19th century

Composer: Pasquale Pericoli
Artists: Federico Bracalente (cello), Nicola Procaccini (harpsichord)

Pasquale Pericoli is now so obscured by time that neither his place and date of birth or death can be ascertained, though in the preface to these six sonatas he declares himself ‘a Neapolitan from Lecce’. Neapolitan should be loosely understood here, as the writ of its kingdom in the 18th century ran all the way east and south to the town of Lecce in the heel of Italy.

These sonatas are indeed Pericoli’s only extant works, and they are a most stylish, melodically appealing example of Neapolitan chamber music otherwise represented with greater renown by composers such as Leonardo Leo and Alessandro Scarlatti. His fame as both a performer and composer spread sufficiently far across Europe for him to work for an Italian theatre-opera company in Stockholm between 1752 and 1757. Although the style of these sonatas belongs recognisably to the Neapolitan school, Pericoli was far better than an epigone or slavish imitator, and his writing betrays first-hand knowledge of the cello and its technical possibilities, including much high writing and string-crossing in the quicker movements. The sonatas were published together as a set in 1769, and perhaps conceived as a single entity given that they were written in different keys, in an ascending scale of B flat major, C major, E flat major, F minor, G minor and A major.

Taken together, the sonatas embody a moment of significant development in the history of music in the movement from Baroque to Classical aesthetics. In this sense the Fourth Sonata is emblematic, with a sonata-form Allegro, an Aria in the guise
of a Siciliana, distinctly reminiscent of Pergolesi and Leo, and a severely contrapuntal quick finale.

The sonatas are played here by a pair of Italian musicians thoroughly versed in the historically informed performing traditions of the time.

First recording of Pericoli’s 6 Cello Sonatas.
Little is known about the life of Pasquale Pericoli, who lived and worked in the second half of the 18th century. He is known to have produced operas in Stockholm for some years, he himself claimed to be of Neapolitan origin.
His Neapolitan roots certainly are betrayed in his 6 Cello Sonatas, in which the formal structure of the Sonata (albeit in embryonic form, not yet fully developed as in the Classical Period) is imbued with melodic charm and cantabile, the cello seeming to sing instead of play.
Cellist Federico Bracalente specialised in the performance of Baroque music, playing in illustrious ensembles like the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova, and collaborates with artists such as Sara Mingardo, Alfredo Bernardini and Romina Basso.
Excellent liner notes written by a scholar, in both Italian and English.

After the enormous success of Vivaldi’s earlier collections La Stravaganza and L’Estro Armonico, his publisher Estienne Roger was eager to capitalise on the composer’s soaring popularity. With that in mind, Op.7 was published in 1720 containing 12 new concertos, ten for solo violin and two for solo oboe. However, it seems unlikely Vivaldi either authorised or approved of this publication, and recent research has even discovered that the authenticity of the concertos is doubtful, with at least the two oboe concertos certainly not by Vivaldi. The concertos may not bear the traditional Vivaldian hallmarks, with movements simplified or moved around, but they are still a worthy tribute to the composer, whether penned by the ‘Prete Rosso’ himself or not.

Federico Guglielmo leads his experienced and lively ensemble L’Arte dell’Arco from the front. A highly acclaimed soloist, Guglielmo has been an active performer on the early music circle for many years, having played alongside such groups as the Academy of Ancient Music and the Handel & Haydn Society of Boston. This time he is joined by oboist Pier Luigi Fabretti, who has previously performed with Concerto Köln and I Barocchisti, among others.

his new instalment of the complete recording of Vivaldi’s Op. 112 contains the 12 Violin Concertos Op. 7, published in Amsterdam in 1720. Prompted by the popular success of the previously published La Stravaganza and L’Estro Armonico Vivaldi wrote these concertos in the same vein: brilliant, dramatic, full of the vitality of Mediterranean life and colours.
Played by the Italian Early Music group “L’Arte dell’Arco, led by violinist (and soloist) Federico Guglielmo. French magazine Diapason wrote about them: ”they understand the secret language of Vivaldi…rich and generous instrumental textures envelop the expressive lines of the solo violin…”

About this Album:
Stravinsky famously quipped that Vivaldi didn’t write 400 concertos, rather he wrote one concerto 400 times. Rather unfair, though witty. For many people though, Vivaldi is the composer of The Four Seasons (the first four of the twelve concertos Op.8), and maybe the famous Gloria. He is a composer who repays closer attention. There are some superb concertos in his large output, and some of them were sufficiently striking enough to attract the attention of J.S. Bach and Johann Quantz. His concertos are remarkable not only for the wealth of invention and the outstanding quality of the music, but also for the amazing range of instruments he wrote for.

This release is devoted to concertos for sopranino and alto recorders. Two of his greatest concertos ‘Tempesta di mare’ (Storm at Sea) and ‘La notte’ (Night) feature on the programme.

Thinking of Baroque music our minds turn nearly automatically to the German giants Bach, Handel, Telemann and the like, or to sunnier parts in Italy where Vivaldi, Corelli and Albinoni wrote their concertos: but one nearly forgets that also in France great music was composed in the Baroque! One of the most important composers was Francois Couperin (1668-1733), imperial court composer of the most charming, graceful music: look at the French pictures of that time and you can imagine what kind of music.

This release contains the complete chamber music of the French master, with the complete “Les Nations” (a musical depiction of nationalities), Concerts Royaux, Les Gouts réunis, L’Apothéose de Corelli and de Lully and other pieces.

Composer: Luigi Boccherini
Artist: Eros Roselli (guitar), La Magnifica Comunità, Enrico Casazza (violin and concert master)

The 9 guitar quintets by Luigi Boccherini are probably arrangements of other pieces he wrote. Some were originally for piano quintet, some are combinations of pieces for other instruments. Nevertheless they sound very original, have a definite Spanish feel to them and make very enjoyable listening.

Of course two movements have become famous by themselves. There is the Fandango, the final movement of the fourth quintet with an unmistakable obviously Spanish rhythm. And the ninth quintet has the highly entertaining 'La ritirata di Madrid', depicting Madrid at night. Luciano Berio liked it so much that he made an arrangement of it.

A recording by La Magnifica Communitá. This ensemble has recorded Boccherini’s other quintets as well. They are here joined by guitarist Eros Roselli.

Beethoven’s complete string quintets by the Zurich String Quintet. This might be a surprise: Did Beethoven write that many string quintets? Yes and no.

In addition to the well-known quintet Op. 29, this set also includes the earlier Op. 4, which the composer later recomposed for octet (Op. 103). Beethoven also arranged his piano trio Op. 1 No. 3 for string quintet, it is his Op. 104. With the Fugue for string quintet, Op. 137, this release offers all there is by Beethoven for 5 string instruments.

In these 24 preludes, spread over two books of equal length, Jeroen van Veen has been inspired by the key-order of Chopin, the piano-techniques of Franz Liszt and Sergei Rachmaninoff, the polyrhythmic textural layering of Philip Glass, the sound of Simeon ten Holt and the rhythms of Steve Reich, all governed by the guiding principle of less is more.

The preludes are highly representative examples of van Veen’s ‘Lego-brick’ aesthetic. The idea behind this is to create variation. Lego refers to the Danish phrase ‘leg godt’, which means ‘to play well’. Complexity is lent to such simple materials by the layering of irregular and compound time-signatures such as 5/8, 7/8, 11/8 and 13/8. Many motives reappear in various works, like Lego bricks in Lego structures do. Some Preludes such as No.18 are just a few ‘Lego bricks’ that can be repeated or even constructed in any order.

Since they were written in 2003-4, these simple preludes have inspired film-makers and artists in their own works; they have also provided the score to a ballet. After the success of Jeroen van Veen’s many recordings of minimal piano music for Brilliant Classics, this new release is sure to receive attention in the press. Most recently he recorded the complete piano works of Erik Satie in time for the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth. His previous recording of the Preludes was well-received by the American Record Guide: ‘Veen’s own Minimal Piano Preludes, which take up two discs of the collection, are a must-have… his performances are more technically polished and conventionally musical: the music breathes.’

The Prelude, originally a short, often quasi-improvised, introduction to a work of larger proportions, gained in the course of musical history a new form, developing into a separate and free structure in which the composer lets his imagination free reign. Jeroen van Veen, champion of Minimal Music, about his own Preludes: “composed in a major and minor keys in the order of Chopin’s Preludes the basic idea was to see if I would limit myself to just a few chords and techniques if I could create different works. Of course I was inspired by the great classical masters; I tried to combine the order of Chopin, the piano-techniques by Franz Liszt and Sergei Rachmaninoff, the polyrhythmic by Philip Glass, the sound of Simeon ten Holt and the rhythms of Steve Reich. Each piece has its own character, starting from a minimalistic point of view: less is more.

Composer: Luigi Boccherini
Artists: La Magnifica Comunitá, Enrico Casazza (violin and concert master)

Boccherini’s string quintets have more to offer than the almost infamous Minuet (from G 275). The gifted Italian composer has written a huge amount of chamber music, including many string quintets for different combinations of instruments.Some of his earlier quintets for 2 violins, 1 viola and 2 celli have now been recorded by the Italian Baroque ensemble La Magnifica Comunita. The ensemble pays a lot of attention to stylistic research. All members have studied at prestigious musical institutions like the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. They play on period instruments. Since Boccherini himself was a professional cello-player he often choose for this more unusual combination with the 2 celli. His music is often a vibrant mixture of Romantic, Italian and Spanish or rather Andalusian elements. Intense performances by La Magnifica Comunitá.

Variously described as “contemporary classical”, “minimalist”, and even “New Age”, Yiruma’s gorgeously peaceful piano music is impossible to classify – it is simply there to be enjoyed, to relax or even to study with. Minimal music is very popular, Yiruma is one of the most popular Minimal music pianists, regularly performing to sell‐out audiences around the globe. Despite his popularity, or maybe even a celebrity status, his music remains resolutely simple and unpretentious; more in the style of short pop music songs than regular solo piano pieces, the very best of it can be enjoyed on this exciting album.

Jeroen van Veen, himself a prolific composer as well as renowned pianist, fell in love with Yiruma’s music on first hearing. As he explains in his liner notes, the music’s enduring popularity is down to its simplicity for player and listener alike. Not many classical composers can boast of having millions of fans, and millions of YouTube views to boot; Yiruma, however, effortlessly bridges the gap between popular and classical, and, most of all, allows the listener to relax and unwind.

Artist: Mela Tenenbaum (violin)

Pietro Locatelli was a fellow countryman and contemporary of Vivaldi’s. He was also both a composer and a virtuoso violinist. During his lifetime and long afterwards his works found their way all over Europe.

Some of his compositions make exceptional demands on the solo violinist. There is testimony of Locatelli playing them himself. But looking at the sheet music one wonders how. Especially the capriccii which the composer inserted in all outer movements of his 12 concertos for solo violin and orchestra opus 3, L’arte del violino.

Such a capriccio - literally “whim” - is a more or less independent, inserted showpiece for the soloist. It needs an interpreter who is not only technically more than capable, but who is able to approach the piece still as music as well. If Locatelli could perform these capriccii they must be playable without alterations or simplifications.

Violinist Mela Tenenbaum - originally from the Ukraine, now resident in the U.S.A. - set herself this very task: She recorded these concertos with several ensembles in a most convincing way proving that there is more to L’arte del violino than meets the ear. This release contains all 12 concertos of Locatelli’s Opus 3.

Bedrich Smetana was the first major nationalist composer of Bohemia. Probably best known for his opera The bartered bride and of course The Moldau (from ‘My homeland’) most of his orchestral music is rather neglected by the average symphony orchestra.

Smetana’s predilection for anything Bohemian shines through not just in his music but also particularly in the subjects of his symphonic poems and opera. A keen dancer himself, his music often echoes his native dance tunes as well. The composer also had a keen interest in the theatre. Hence the subjects of his early symphonic poems which were based on works by Shakespeare, Schiller and Oehlenschläger. Of his later symphonic poems, the series ‘Má Vlast’, especially ‘Vltava’ (the Moldau) is very well-known.

Of course no orchestra but the Janácek Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Theodore Kuchar could play this music better: this is the genuine article. On this release, one can hear the ultimate performances of this most pleasant and vivacious music.

Composer: Antonio Vivaldi
Artists: L'Arte dell'Arco, Federico Guglielmo (violin), Francesco Galligioni (cello), Roberto Loreggian (harpsichord), Elisa Imbalzano (violin)

Federico Guglielmo whittles down his ensemble L’Arte dell’Arco to just three or four players for his latest release of Vivaldi’s music. Unlike other Vivaldi performers, Guglielmo is keen to return to the transparency of the Prete Rosso’s music, stripping away the ornate embellishments that have encumbered recent recordings, allowing the fluid lines to speak for themselves. In these Violin and Trio Sonatas, Guglielmo and his fellow musicians once again establish themselves as some of the foremost interpreters of the Italian’s music. For the most part bright and jolly, these sonatas demand to be played with charm and joie de vivre, which L’Arte dell’Arco certainly supply in abundance. The tender lines of the slow movements are still a world away from some of the darker, more sombre sonatas of Vivaldi’s contemporary J.S. Bach, and they find serious expression and resonance on this album rather than languid solemnity.

It is certainly odd that these Sonatas have been overlooked in the past, with few recordings available on CD, and no recent ones by Italian musicians. Also available as part of a complete boxset of Vivaldi’s Opp.1–12, this recording can also stand alone as an outstanding example of Vivaldi’s superb writing for chamber ensemble.

This album presents the first recording on period instruments of Vivaldi’s complete Opus 5, consisting of 4 violin sonatas for violin solo and continuo, as well as two Trio Sonatas for two violins and continuo.
In the years of composition of these works Vivaldi’s fame had already widely spread and he was keen to publish this set of chamber music as his Opus 5. The music is vintage Vivaldi: fresh, vigorous, full of melodic and harmonic invention and instrumental brilliance.

this recording is part of the complete edition based on the original sources of the New Vivaldi Edition by the Italian early music group L’Arte dell’Arco, led by violinist Federico Guglielmo, who is the soloist in these sonatas, seconded by a continuo of cello and harpsichord. “They understand the secret language of Vivaldi” (Diapason).
