Why is the soccer term for
overtime used as the title of an album devoted to baroque music? Because
much of it was recorded when there was time left over in a session. Three of
the works involve trumpets, including the opener, the Sinfonia to Albinoni’s
opera La Statira. The outer movements are bright, of course, but the
notes tell us that the middle movement “with its rare pizzicato bass, is one
of the jewels in Albinoni’s crown”. Also with four trumpets are works by
Nicola Matteis the Younger (1678-1737). In a ballet suite, the movements
with trumpets (Preludio, stately Entre, Minuet) are splashy, but I find the
other movements more interesting: a lively Chaconne, a vigorous Gigue, an
intimate Loure.
The rest of the program
consists of three violin concertos by Vivaldi and one by
Giuseppe
Antonio Brescianello (1690-1758). Each is played with skill and eartfelt
expression by soloist Adrian Chandler and his excellent ensemble, La
Serenissima. | ||||
