About

Although the first violin virtuosos came mainly from Cremona, Brescia or Mantua, it was Venice that swiftly emerged as the principal centre for the development of instrumental music. Moreover, it was there that most collections of this music were printed all through the seventeenth century. It is curious to note that all these virtuosos obviously enjoyed sharing their success with their colleagues: for, alongside works for one or two violins and continuo, almost all the composer-violinists gathered together on this disc conceived sonate, canzone or sinfonie for ensembles of three or four violins. In addition, these compositions often make use of bichoral or echo effects. All this was happening as part of the discovery of that nascent virtuosity so characteristic of the Baroque period, as a result of which instrumentalists devised many new effects, such as the use of double stopping, and drew attention to their artistry with virtuoso runs akin to the extravagant language of the toccata.

The idiom of the music is attractive, and the performances are fluent, though the recording doesn’t always allow the violinists to soar free of their continuo accompaniment into the church acoustic. But the disc works best as musical wallpaper, which the performers surely didn’t intend.

It’s a nice idea, and since many of these composers lived and worked in Venice and could have known each other...it presents the pleasing notion of a musical community exploring the possibilities of their relatively new instrument...The intelligence of the programming is backed up by the performances, which are stylish and engaging. Short gaps between some of the pieces keep our attention and prevent it all from sounding like a history lesson.
