This is just a beautiful recording. The perspective is close so every detail is clearly captured, but there is plenty of ambiance. The music is great,too. Scarlatti may not be as melodically inventive as Handel or Corelli, but this is no amateur music! He makes frequent use of counterpoint, usually imitative, and varies the movement order and number of movements considerably, which adds some needed variety when listening to all six concerti in one sitting. The performers play with great gusto and precision. Highly recommended.
Founded in Ravenna, Italy, in 1983, the Accademia Bizantina is a group of talented musicians with diverse musical interests who came together to form a self-managed group where music could be made in an atmosphere of research and historical understanding.
Mauro Valli is solo cellist for the ensemble Accademia Bizantina, together with which he pursues intensive concert and recording activities. He plays a 1738 Louis Guersan cello.
Look forward to this release, which was presented in 2003 by ARTS in superior 24 bit / 96 kHz sound quality (ARTS 47616) and has received many great reviews since. In June 2011, this recording will now also be available as high-quality hybrid SACD in multichannel sound.
