Fifteen years after the first album featuring works by Francesco Veracini and two years after the release of the second such album, CPO is now releasing the third production by L’Arte dell’Arco in this series combining a complete edition of this composer’s work.
The first release met with an unanimously enthusiastic response: “Here everything fits perfectly; here instrumentalists perform with passion; here a very great ensemble is revealed. The team effort is fascinating; here musicians, friends, and kindred spirits are at work” (Toccata). The goal of this project is to record Veracini’s complete Overtures and Violin Concertos and to combine them with a selection of his most interesting Sonatas from the collection without opus number (1716) and his Opus 1 (1721).
