Arcangelo Corelli Church Sonatas op.1 & 3 The Avison Ensemble Linn Records 2CDs

Description: Arcangelo Corelli - Church Sonatas Op.1 and Op.3 The Avison Ensemble, Pavlo Beznosiuk & Caroline Balding (violins), Paula Chateauneuf (archlute), Richard Tunnicliffe (cello), Roger Hamilton (harpsichord & organ)A fittingly satisfying finale to our series of recordings of Corelli's music, his church sonatas are exquisite, highly refined compositions representing a high point of Italian Baroque instrumental music. Corelli's contribution to the history of violin performance was immense. All six of his published collections of instrumental music demonstrate his exceptional skill as a violinist and composer. This was the fourth recording in our series of Corelli's complete chamber music on Linn Records as part our celebration of the 300th anniversary of the composer's death. 2 CD hybrid SACD set on Linn Records, CKD 414. (Hybrid SACD CDs play on both ordinary CD and SACD players.) Release date 2014. Total Playing Time 147 minutes. Our Corelli series has been greeted with wide critical acclaim: Op.2 & 4 was named ‘Recording of the Month' by MusicWeb International which also named Op.6 a 2012 ‘Recording of the Year', whilst Op.5 was awarded 4.5 stars by BBC Music Magazine who praised Beznosiuk's "intuitively musical performances."What reviewers said about our Corelli Chamber Sonatas recording: "Any hint that these conscientious musicians might have merely motored though all 24 sonatas formulaically is contradicted by the classy conclusion to their distinguished Corellian project." Gramophone Magazine "I have enjoyed every one of the discs in this series from Linn Records so far, and this last set more than lives up to expectations ... These are, in sum, sincere and poised accounts, a fitting tribute to the 'chaste and faultless' character of the composer and his music." BBC Music Magazine "Listeners will be captivated by the spirited interchanges between these players, the voicing and spontaneity of their contrapuntal interplay and the neatness of their articulations, particularly in the numerous fugal and dance-inspired movements. A fine conclusion to a tercentennial survey of the Baroque master."
