Product Description
Brilliant, highly melodious works by the still undervalued baroque master Francesco Maria Veracini (1690-1768), his sonatas are a typically baroque blend of playful and learned contrapuntal elements. Played by an extraordinary ensemble uniting three acclaimed specialists of historically informed performance practice.
In his liner notes, John Holloway says of Veracini: "With his combination of brilliant technical and compositional innovation firmly rooted in the best music of the previous generation, Veracini earns an honoured place in the short list of truly great violinist-composers which includes Biber and - from a much later generation - Ysaÿe.... and, of course, Bach". Veracini's significance as a composer rests on his four collections of violin sonatas, composed or published in 1716, 1721, 1744 and the late 1750s, spanning virtually his whole creative career. For the present CD, Holloway has chosen one characteristic example of each. Some of his pieces, including the Sonate accademiche, were originally composed not for the general public but for learned societies of music lovers. This was highly erudite music reminiscent of late Bach, but formal concerns and a "wild and flighty" quality coexist in the best of Veracini's music.
Recorded 2003
Personnel: John Holloway - violin, Jaap ter Linden - cello, Lars Ulrik Mortensen - harpsichord
About the Artist
John Holloway is one of the great pioneers in the field of baroque music and his extensive work as leader of the London Classical Players and his years as featured soloist with the Academy of Ancient Music, the Taverner Consort and the Freiburger Barockorchester established him as a major voice. Holloway's ECM recordings with works by Biber, Schmelzer and Muffat won general critical praise. The 2004 release 'Der Türken Anmarsch' was Gramophone Editor's choice.
Danish harpsichordist Lars Ulrik Mortensen is also one of the key figures in the early music movement, as well as artistic director of the Concerto Copenhagen orchestra. Like Holloway a multiple prize-winner, he commands a staunch following.
Dutch cellist Jaap ter Linden enjoys a stellar reputation as a prominent interpreter of baroque music. He was a co-founder of the ensemble Musica Da Camera and principal cellist of the Musica Antiqua Köln, the English Concert and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra.
