Description

This recording contains one of the most famous adagios in the entire repertoire: the adagio in D minor from Alessandro Marcello’s Oboe Concerto, mistakenly attributed to his brother Benedetto Marcello and to Antonio Vivaldi! Marcello’s style is in the “High Baroque” style, already foreshadowing the classical style, music of great depth and emotion, richly marked by a great variety of instruments, soloists and continuo. Magnificently performed with warmth and devotion by la musica antica, a group of specialists in instrumental music from Rome, conducted by Giorgio Sasso, an eminent scholar and musician.
