Venice Baroque Orchestra - Duello Darchi a Venezia - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

?InchFor this recording we have created an imaginary 'battle of the bows' between Vivaldi, Veracini, Tartini and Locatelli, the 'four musketeers' of the violin in Venice during the first half of the 18th centuryInch, said Chouchane Siranossian and Andrea Marcon. InchCorelli died in 1713 and passed the torch on to his heirs... Venice then became the setting for merciless rivalries. The violin became an instrument of confrontation, an ideal weapon for demonstrating virtuosity and technical prowess. The player's ultimate goal was to astonish the listener and to demonstrate his own bravura, to the point that certain narcissistic tendencies of the player were often exaggerated.Inch Chouchane Siranossian, whose virtuosity was described as InchdiabolicalInch by the Sunday Times and who Inchhit the nail on the headInch according to Classica on her Tartini recording (Alpha596, Choc), is the ideal interpreter of these high-risk concertos, with the fresh and knowledgeable support of Andrea Marcon and his Venetian ensemble.
