Tartini; Violin Sonatas

Opis:

Born in 1692, in what today is Slovenia, Giuseppe Tartini ranks among the most famous of late-Baroque composers. A colourful figure who was the subject of various scandals during his lifetime, the Italian was forced to flee Padua in 1710 when it was discovered he had secretly married the niece of the citys Bishop. Tartini sought refuge at the monastery in Assisi, and it was there that he began lessons in both the violin and composition.This compilation is dedicated to a selection of Tartinis violin sonatas (over a hundred survive). The Op.2 set was published by Le Cène of Amsterdam in 1743. Apart from the sixth work which exhibits a rather unusual five-movement structure, the remaining sonatas have a slow movement followed by two faster pieces a form to be found in the majority of the Piccole sonatas which follow. Taken from the manuscript collection of St Anthonys Basilica in Padua, these compositions feature optional bass lines and similarly display all the hallmarks of Tartinis natural style: from the melancholy of the slow movements to the quicker, folk-imbued ones, each work is written in an expansive and lyrical fashion, thus conforming to Tartinis belief that music should be as natural as possible. Contemporary accounts suggest that Tartini didnt so much play his violin as make his instrument sing, and this is confirmed by the various cantabile markings in both the slow and fast movements of the latter collection. Featuring highly accomplished performances from Giovanni Guglielmo, Antonio Pocaterra, Alberto Martini and Ilario Gregoletto, this release is a must-buy for both the Baroque and violin enthusiast.
