Leclair and Naudot - Violin Concertos – Jaap Schroder, Concerto Amsterdam

 

Release Date: February 8, 1994 Label: Teldec Number of discs: 1 Composer: Leclair, Naudot  Performer: Jaap Schroder, Concerto Amsterdam cd info/ buy

Review:

Jean-Marie Leclair was one of the great virtuosos of the violin in the history of music. He had a high reputation and travelled through Europe as a performer. Born at a time when the Italian style was fully established in France, he was one of the representatives of the ideal of the goûts réunis, the mixture of French and Italian elements. The Teldec series Das Alte Werk was in the forefront of the period revolution and reflects the pioneering work of many of its stars. The conversion of Jaap Schröder’s Concerto Amsterdam from a modern-instrument ensemble in 1969, to a period band in 1978, partnering the excellent Schröder himself in violin concertos by Leclair is witnessed on this disc. In particular lovers of music for violin will enjoy these performances. The wonderful concerto for recorder and two violins  by Naudot recorded by Frans Bruggen is also included.

Marcello - 12 Sonatas op.2 para Flauta Dulce - Alvaro Marias

 

Release Date: 2005 Label: Zarabanda Number of discs: 2  Composer: Benedetto Marcello Performer: Alvaro Marias  cd info/ buy

Review:

Born in Venice, Benedetto Marcello was a member of a noble family and a music student of Antonio Lotti and Francesco Gasparini. It is not easy to segment the musical continuum of Marcello’s life, since he held no regular appointments of a musical nature and the majority of his musical works are undated. This demonstrates how severely separated in social experience dilettante composers were from the common ranks of musical maestri. Nonetheless, Marcello’s cultivated intellect exerted, particularly through his psalm settings and cantatas, a major influence on Italian musical thought and performance throughout the 18th century and, to various degrees, on the musical practices of many other European countries until the end of the 19th century. The 12 Sonatas op.2 para Flauta Dulce were published in 1712, the first recorder sonatas to be published in Italy, adhering closely to the form of the “Corelli" sonatas.
