- Genre: Classical
- Description: A feast of first recordings to celebrate the art of one of the greatest violinist-composers in 18th-century Europe. 'I have heard a certain Nardini, Leopold Mozart once wrote, 'and regarding beauty, purity, and equality of tone and in the singing taste nothing more beautiful can be heard.' The inveterate traveller and collector of culture Charles Burney was no less certain in his judgment of Nardini 'he seems the completest player on the violin in all Italy; and, according to my feelings and judgment, his style is delicate, judicious, and highly finished.' We may judge for ourselves through the medium of his works, presented here in superbly stylish new recordings by a Dutch-based period ensemble with a track record of success in reviving lesser- known names from the golden age of the Baroque violin. Modern luminaries of the violin including Grumiaux, Milstein and Ricci used to perform Nardini's 'Sonata in D', and modern-Baroque virtuosos such as Giovanni Guglielmo and Giuseppe Carmignola have recorded his ornately wrought concertos, but this is the most comprehensive collection ever made of the composer's chamber-music output. To begin with, there are the Six Sonatas for two German Flutes or two Violins and a Bass, published in London in 1768. The Six duos pour deux violons, published in Paris around 1765, are very similar to the trio sonatas, but they feature typical violin idioms such as double stops and the use of lower notes than the flute would allow. The third of them brings a lively sequence of bird and animal sounds, from the cuckoo to the frog. The 14 New Italian Minuets for two Violins and a Bass, published in London around 1760, are short, unpretentious pieces, but skilfully composed and a joy to listen to. Born into a humble family in 18th-century Italy, Pietro Nardini's (1722-1793) talent for violin playing led him to Livorno to study with the celebrate
