Corelli: La Follia / Petri, Esfahani
Label: OUR RECORDINGS Catalog: 6220610 Format: Hybrid SACD Petri; EsfahaniComposed by: Corelli, Arcangelo Fate blessed the Italian violinist and composer Arcangelo Corelli with talent, modesty, wealthy patrons, faithful disciples and extraordinary riches. It can be said without any exaggeration that Corelli was the first world-famous composer. Yet, for all his celebrity, only a handful of works have come down to us, with the Violin Sonatas op. 5 occupying pride of place. The sonatas presented here come from the second half of that famous collection, the music inspired by popular dance rhythms. Recorded in Copenhagen’s Garnisons Kirke, and featuring Michala Petri and Mahan Esfahani. Price: $25.98 |
