Ensemble Oni Wytars - Carmina Burana [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/22/2002

Complete Tonadas and other works for piano - Joaqin Nin- Culmell.

This recording charts a path through the sonatas for violin and basso continuo composed by eight composers born in Italy, the epicentre of the genre's experimentation at the time. Most of these composers were also violin virtuosos, true explorers and connoisseurs of their instrument, and several enjoyed an international career that led them to publish beyond the Alps. One of the recording's key unifying elements is the exploration of the D minor key, with the only exception of two sonatas in the neighboring D major and A major keys, three particularly idiomatic tonalities that favor the instrument's natural resonance.
