About
The latest instalment from baroque ensemble La Serenissima. Often compared to Vivaldi, Giuseppe Tartini was a famous virtuoso violinist and highly respected teacher, and is best known for the sonata “Il Trillo del Diavolo” (The Devi’s Trill) which is legendary for both its story and for its fiendish level of technical wizardry.

His Devil’s Trill is dazzling: crisply articulated, smack bang in tune, theatrically multi-voiced, and with all manner of different shades and colours. Plus there’s the sheer wall-to-wall energy of it all. He’s a violinist-shaped tornado, albeit dancing rather than hurtling.
