Sarti: Complete Chamber Works
Roberto Noferini (violin), Silvia Moroni (flute), Chiara Cattani (keyboard)
I love Cattani’s playing which is crisply incisive, bright and fresh...I don’t particularly like the sound of it, but that it purely a personal thing...this set has been a wonderful discovery...

About
This boxed set of discs proposes a journey through the keyboard instrument works of the eminent composer Giuseppe Sarti, who was born in Faenza but was a citizen of Europe throughout his life. Most of these pieces are in solo version, some have a concertante violin accompaniment and a few are for solo flute with basso continuo.
This journey covers the 50 years of the eighteenth century that were richest in changes, ranging from the galant style to the roots of romanticism. A noteworthy characteristic of this recording is the fact that only historical instruments have been used. Moreover the instruments are quite varied: there are eight different keyboard instruments, plus the violin and the flute.
As a result, these discs are an invaluable element in the panorama of recordings relevant to Classicism, thanks also to the painstaking care and thoroughness with which the performers have defined their performance, after carrying out extensive research in libraries all over Europe.

I love Cattani’s playing which is crisply incisive, bright and fresh...I don’t particularly like the sound of it, but that it purely a personal thing...this set has been a wonderful discovery for me, and constitutes an admirable investment for those wishing to discover this rich body of music by an almost forgotten composer.
