A Cinque - String Sonatas
Label: Catalog: LDV14110 Format: COMPACT DISC Nicola Reniero Il Trattenimento armonicoThe five-part writing for strings has its period of greatest development in the 16th and 17th centuries, only to fall into a progressive obsolescence. The most commonly used instrumental ensemble included two violins, alto and tenor viola da braccio, cello and basso continuo. Of this quintet, the instrument that undergoes a progressive dismissal is the viola tenore, which in this recording we propose in its original late seventeenth century mounting. Price: $35.98 |
