Wonderful sonatas!,
This review is from: Uccellini: Sonatas (Audio CD)
A magnificent CD featuring works by Uccellini (1603-1680), brilliantly performed by Romanesca, with Andrew Manze exhibiting his trademark flamboyant virtuoso violinist skills! Uccellini's patron was the Duke of Modena and in 1647 Uccellini became the maestro di capella at the Modenese court, where he composed sacral vocal music. In 1665 he became maestro at Parma where he composed operas and ballets and there he remained until his death. Unfortunately, despite his varied compositional output, only his instrumental works survive. He was an innovative violinist and composed for trombone and theorbo, as well as the violin. This CD highlights many of his innovations, (e.g. changing from major mode to minor within a few seconds, his imitation of a trumpet) and is a must for any lover of baroque music.

Well, a 1* review for this recording is ridiculous!,
By Giradman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Uccellini: Sonatas (Audio CD)
Just purchased this recording and have listened to Manze & his colleagues perform these somewhat 'obscure' Baroque works - the playing and sound quality are excellent; others have already made positive extensive comments, which I can only add support. Plus, Manze's liner notes are quite instructive (could have been longer!). Please ignore that 1* review - just cannot understand the rating?

Renaissance Modernity,
By Janet C. Whitchurch "wart" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Uccellini: Sonatas (Audio CD)
This CD was a wonderful surprise! It is very beautiful, a kind of delicate beauty as opposed to a more romantic beauty. The most surprising aspect of the music for me is the way it sounds like some of the music written in the early 20th century with its dissonance and strange transitional rhythmns. I like 16th century, Italian violin and chamber music and this composer compliments the music of Corelli and Vivaldi in interesting ways.

Sonata for Rhinoceros,
By Sergey Lenkov "Serge" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Uccellini: Sonatas (Audio CD)
Marco Uccellini (1603-1680) is much less known and popular than other composers of Baroque era. Records of Baroque music itself differs - the success of it depends on performer: you could get either a kind of hard-rock style classical music or romantic poetical opuses which would express delicatest feelings and emotions.
Trio ROMANESCA "always produce revitalizing, edge-of-your-chair music". With the sounds of violin, harpischord, organ, theorbo, Baroque guitar ROMANESCA created live, luminious, emotional, relaxing sound world. It is a pleasure to return there. There is St.Petersburg Baroque Trio by V.Shulyakovsky. I heard their CD "Italian Violin Music of the 17th Century" with the music by Uccellini and I was sure that they are the best performers of his music. Now I`m not so sure... So if you like light sentimental romantic Baroque music for relaxation - this CD by ROMANESCA is your choice! And don`t pay much attention to guy above me who recommends you to buy CD by his favourite performer and avoid ROMANESCA. His likes or dislikes - are his own problems. Make your own choice!!! We are simple listeners and when we are listening to CD - the music is interesting for us, not discussions of musicologists... By the way, why not to buy both CDs and compare the quality of playing? |
