description
As a violinist admired throughout Europe, and father of the sonata and the concerto grosso, Arcangelo Corelli enjoyed an unparalleled reputation during his lifetime and throughout the entire 18th century, leaving his mark on generations of musicians and composers. Although his music can seem less typically "baroque" to our ears, its relative sobriety and the further refinement of violin-making largely contributed to its dissemination. Like Bach who admired him, Corelli was not an innovator, but he created a deeply personal art through synthesis. At a time when virtuoso singing was prevalent, he provided a model of elegance and balance, even being dubbed "The New Orpheus of Our Times." The trio sonatas on this recording are dedicated to Corelli's main Roman patrons; they reflect his personal evolution as well as the refinement of the violin, which was subject to an increasingly apparent emancipation within the orchestra.
