The thirty concerts for 1, 2, 4 trumpets, oboes, strings and continuo by Giuseppe Torelli performed here represent the first integral recording of these composition. Only the original versions of all the authentic and signed manuscript pieces were considered for the recording. Stylistically, Torelli’s concertos, sonatas and Sinfonie – we should not give too much importance to the different terms, since at the time they were synonymous –were fundamental for the development of the Sonata da Chiesa (in Cazzati-style) towards the concerto form as it is defined today.
