Handel & Vivaldi: Notte Di Tempesta
) | Label: Fra Bernardo Catalog: FB1604372 Format: CD BARROCADE MEGHNAGI KRIBUS, CLAIRE MEGHNAGIVirtuosity was as intricate issue in the late Baroque period. On one hand, the public attending the concert demanded to be overwhelmed by the performers' technique. On the other hand, virtuosity provided imitation and often revelaed composers' command over their craft. Composers were expected to supply a piece that showcased an artists entire "bag of tricks" including special effects and specific skills. Handel and Vivaldi did not allow the circumstances of the day to hinder their inspiration. The ensemble Barrocade, along with Claire Meghnagi and Shai Kribus showcase Handel and Vivaldi's virtuosic works of their day.  Price: $27.98 |
