• Legrenzi: La fugazza sonata a 5
• Legrenzi: La marinona sonata a 5
Legrenzi’s “Balletti e Correnti Op. 16” was published in 1671. They consists of stylized dance movements typical of the time, such as balletti (ballets) and correnti (courantes). These pieces are written in a transparent and lyrical style, performed by a small ensemble, showcasing Legrenzi’s skill in crafting engaging melodies and rich harmonies. The collection reflects the evolving tastes of 17th-century Europe, where dance music began to transition from functional court entertainment to concert repertoire.
Performed on period instruments by the Italian group Il Trattenimento Armonico, with Nicola Reniero as director and cembalo player.
