About
The start of a new prestigious series on Brilliant Classics: the complete instrumental music by Albinoni!
Tomaso Albinoni (1671‐1751) spent most of his life in his native Venice, he was a famous opera composer, and was one of the few composers who were of independent means, not in the service of Court or Church. Nowadays Albinoni is foremost known for his instrumental works, trio sonatas and concertos, showing his great melodic gift, his inventiveness and high spirits.
These Trio Sonatas Op. 1 are played by the Italian elite group L’Arte dell’Arco, led by violinist Federico Guglielmo, with an established reputation in this repertoire, having won several international prizes and rave reviews for their numerous CD’s, notably their Vivaldi cycle for Brilliant Classics.
