About

Corelli was one of the most popular composers of his day (early 18th century), yet only a small amount of his original output exists. Presented on this unique recording are transcriptions for recorder of six of the violin sonatas from the Opus 5 collection. Transcriptions of this nature were perfectly acceptable and augmented by improvisations and ornamentations from the performers.

The relationship between these two fine musicians – both can be considered to be in the very top tier of ther respective instruments – manifests itself in a superlative performance which gives free rein to their creativity and virtuosity.

February 2015

Petri and Esfahani's is an invigorating ensemble effort, each sparking off the other to foster a captivating directness whether sparkling or soulful. Nothing is safe or reverential, and yet there's no iconoclastic agenda either.

January 2015

It's rare to experience the level of artistic rapport heard on this recording from [Petri and Esfahani]...In Petri's capable hands, the recorder becomes a medium through which she conveys a more vocal interpretation of thematic material than ever a violin could...Esfahani crafts the most imaginative and engaging accompaniments and repartee I have ever heard.

December 2014

if you're happy enough with just harpsichord accompaniment alone, then look no further than Petri's and Esfahani's immaculately played and diligently prepared new accounts, which seem in every way the last word in tasteful and elegant musicianship, with a magical recording to boot.

International Classical Music Awards 2016

Petri’s singing sound is marvellous, and together with Esfahani she takes full advantage of the music’s opportunities for flexible phrasing and added embellishments. With an incomparable art of musical understanding and communication, this is chamber music at the highest possible level, showing the modernity and sustainability of baroque music.
