Info for Corelli: Concerto Grosso, Op. 6 (excerpts)

Pentatone Studio Masters devoted to music of Archangelo Corelli was recorded during concerts at the Vredenburg, Utrecht in January 2003, produced by Carl Schuurbiers with Erdo Groot as recording engineer. The recording has superb, full-bodied sound with sonorous string textures (unheard on the previous CD/ SACD). Conductor Simon Murphy points out there is a similarity between jazz and Corelli's music as in the Corelli's' music performers are expected to improvise and add elaborate ornamentation. The result is Corelli with a vibrant sound not to be heard in most other recordings of the composer's music.

“This recording surpasses all existing recordings in depth and perspective…Fauré excellsthanks to the collective effort of choir, orchestra and soloists.” (Huib Ramaer, de Volkskrant)
