12 Sinfonie di Concerto Grosso [2CD]

Capella Tiberina was founded by Alexandra Nigito in order to blend a passion for early music with a rigorous approach to musicological research. Such research is displayed on this disc, which was recorded in different dispositions relying on the documentary evidence of performances from the time. They perform on historical instruments and feature young and highly talented musicians, specialising in Baroque music - the perfect accompaniment for acclaimed recorder soloist Corina Marti, who brings her beautifully tempered playing to the four solo recorder concertos.

After being kept in relative obscurity the music of Alessandro Scarlatti is making a glorious come back, and is recognised as at least as innovative, brilliant and profound as the music of his son, the famous Domenico Scarlatti.
These '12 sinfonie di concerto grosso' are concertante works, either for a variety of solo instruments (concerto grosso) or for solo recorder and strings. These are delightful baroque concertos, brimming with energy, Italian charm and gusto.
