Albinoni: Sinfonie a Cinque op. 2

Banchini, Chiara, Ensemble 415

ZZT 090202

Chiara Banchini celebrates Albinoni, the unknown elder of a new generation of venetian composers (Vivaldi, Marcello, Lotti…), the initiator of a new style, lively, colorful, combining structure and ornemental fantasy, related to venetian sensuality. • This Albinoni recording is included in the range of records made by Chiara Banchini all committed to the recognition by the audience of italian violonistic repertoires – essential to musical history of violin but not enough played and known : Corelli (rome; creator of sonatas da chiesa, da camera, Valentini (Corelli’s challenger in Roma : using the rules while breaking them), Geminiani (Corelli’s student and outstanding orchestrator), Tartini (theoretian of natural in music) and now Albinoni. • • "Bucking the current fashion for hard-driven Vivaldi, Chiara Banchini and Ensemble 415 (all her pupils) deliver string concerto performances of airy delight. The focus is on the concerti for 4 violins from the ground-breaking set l’Estro Armonico. So many notes, interviewing; yet with Banchini’s team of soloists everything stays elegant, subtle and unclogged. The disc markes 10 years of excellent releases from this idiosyncratic French Label."
