Description

MUSIC BY GEMINIANI, VIVALDI, CORELLI AND TARTINI

Violin, Flavia Di Tomasso
Harpsichord, Barbara Di Mario

Italy was a leading country in terms of musical innovation during the Baroque era. In the “bel paese” an instrument in particular, i.e. the violin, characterized by a quintessentially baroque charm, was brought to perfection. The instruments built by Amati, Guarnieri, Stradivari, Testore, Montagnana, still possess their neverending magic. In this concert, music by Corelli, Vivaldi and Tartini makes up a mosaic in which the sensual and touching sound of the violin takes shape and enthralls audiences. Today's pieces feature typically late baroque tonal stability, a newly found counterpoint, wide structures, variations and embellishments. Here the violin outdoes  opera singers in cantability and its virtuoso quality reminds 17th century architecture. Its sound encapsulates an era of art and music.

CAPRICCIO ITALIANO FESTIVAL is a concerts series in Rome fully dedicated to great Italian composers (Vivaldi, Corelli, Pergolesi, Caccini, Albinoni, Rossini, Verdi...). Festival performers are skilful instrumentalists who are committed to the research and promotion of a typically Italian instrumental and vocal repertoire. The different chamber music ensembles will lead you through an evocative 500-year-long journey brimming with extraordinary music.  Performances will include masterpieces, as well as stunning unpublished works.
