CD (Compact Disc)
Herkömmliche CD, die mit allen CD-Playern und Computerlaufwerken, aber auch mit den meisten SACD- oder Multiplayern abspielbar ist.
Das Opus 4 steht in der Publikationsreihe Locatellis gleich nach den Violinkonzerten des Opus 3, L’Arte del Violino, eines der Hauptwerke des Komponisten; mit diesem Werk erreichte er einen bisher unerreichten Höhepunkt der virtuosen Violintechnik. Als unmittelbarer Nachfolger in dieser Hinsicht kann nur Paganini angesehen werden. Das Opus 4 mit seinen raffinierten Verzierungen, den eleganten Melodien der langsamen Sätze und der damals ungewohnten Präzision in der Angabe der Dynamik und der Frasierung stellen die reiche Erfahrung des Virtuosen dar. Gleichzeitig experimentiert er mit den traditionellen Formen und führt somit das Concerto grosso und das Solokonzert an seine äußersten Grenzen.
Locatelli’s Op 4 in fact consists of two quite distinct sets of pieces, six Introduttioni Teatrali and six Concerti. It is not clear whether the title of the ‘theatrical introductions’ should be taken literally, but certainly the works are composed in a striking manner such as would be expected for an overture fighting to catch the attention of a restless audience.
The second half of the set consists of six concertos whose rhapsodic character contrasts with the carefully structured style of the Introduttioni. These works have differing numbers of movements and Locatelli exploits this greater freedom to include a wide range of virtuosic motifs and textural experiments.
'Once again a Raglan triumph … Given these excellent performances I've a hunch that Locatelli has a fighting chance to make the composers' Premier League' (Classic CD)
'The Raglan Baroque Players and Elizabeth Wallfisch are doing great service to the music of Locatelli. This excellent band … seem to revel in the fertile invention and sheer ebullience of the music, making it spring to life from the printed page. I found myself effortlessly carried along by the exuberance of Wallfisch's direction and the lively response of the players. An invigorating release' (BBC Music Magazine)
'Locatelli's many strengths are well displayed in this latest offering from his leading contemporary advocate ... spectacular effects and beautiful, almost classical, cantabile melodies. Wallfisch and her Raglan colleagues play with imagination, flair and technical precision and they are well served by a beautifully atmospheric acoustic' (Soundscapes, Australia)
'There is simply no better introduction to the music of Locatelli than [this] superbly invigorating collection' (The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)
