Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini Although the Czech born composer Frantisek Tuma may not be among the greatest composers of the eighteenth century, there is in his music the exotic atmosphere typical of the transition from the baroque to classical periods. This collection of music written for small ensembles is performed by acknowledged experts in this area of music, Rinaldo Alessandrini and Concerto Italiano. “Tuma… is never less than engaging. …the players reveal a great deal of refinement, particularly enjoyable in the more contrapuntal movements.” BBC Music Magazine, September 2008 **** |

Concerto Italiano, Rinaldo Alessandrini “Alessandrini and his crew employ a tense, edgy rhetoric to reveal an inner psychology while sacrificing neither precision of ensemble nor beauty of sound. Concerto Italiano are now such a sensitive instrument that they respond to the emotional exigencies of the texts like silk to the breeze. Listen to the passionate terza parte of the Lamento d’Arianna; or the final line of Zefiro torna, where the drawn-out dissonances are almost physically painful… I could find a hundred such examples without ever conveying the many excellencies of this recording.” Gramophone | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
