[ Deutsche Grammophon Archiv / CD ]

Release Date: Saturday 1 May 2010

"Carmignola displays the qualities of the concertos brilliantly and eloquently, sailing through all the difficulties with fine, clear tone and pure intonation, and the string-players of the Venice Baroque Orchestra show finesse and enthusiasm." Gramophone Magazine, February 2010

"Who better to disclose the poetic utterances of these pieces with their highly developed esprit de fantaisie than Giuliano Carmignola? I cannot think of any other violinist at the moment who feels this music with such depth and delicacy of expression and who can sustain the melodic line in a manner which mirrors the sustained style of an operatic aria. The Venice Baroque Orchestra under Andrea Marcon's direction offers sympathetic and crisp support, setting the seal on an excellent release." BBC Music Magazine, January 2010 *****
