Another chapter in the rediscovery of an 18th-century master by Brilliant Classics. While the music of this Rimini-born violinist, composer and publisher has been excerpted and recorded on several albums, Brilliant Classics is assembling a uniquely comprehensive overview of a figure much esteemed in his lifetime for music that sparkles like the Venetian lagoons, yet has been almost completely forgotten until recently.

Composer: Carlo Tessarini Da Rimini
Artists:
Valerio Losito baroque violin
Paolo Perrone baroque violin
Carlo Calegari violone
Diego Leveric archlute
Federico Del Sordo harpsichord

It was while working in Venice that Carlo Tessarini (1690-1766) discovered his music to have been published in unauthorised editions in London and Amsterdam, capitalising on his popularity and acclaim across Europe, and so began his own career as a publisher. His catalogue of work comprises 280 instrumental compositions, including 85 sonatas for violin and basso continuo. Largely made up of three movements, they are highly distinctive in idiom, full of the brilliance that was to become a feature of the nascent ‘galant’ style in Europe, but with a vein of typically Italian vitality.

The Op.14 sonatas are less virtuosic than Tessarini’s other compositions in the same genre, allowing for performance on the flute. Special care has been taken on the present recording to highlight the greater degree of imitation in the exchange between the solo instrument and the basso continuo as well as the well-constructed variety of the various movements. They are interspersed here with three Preludes or ‘partimenti’ by Fedele Fenaroli (1730-1818), a Neapolitan composer even less familiar to us now than Tessarini.

  • I am playing double bass on this album. We recorded it in Rome and my beloved father had passed away some months before, while my beloved aunt would have after some time. That was a very difficult period for me. I tried to play my best, anyway. Now, reading these opinions about this CD that makes me so proud and happy. Thank you so much, everybody. Thanks to Valerio Losito, Federico Del Sordo, Paolo Perrone and Diego Leveric, friends and great musicians.

  • @lextrant1
    Piękna, pełna wdzięku muzyka. Nastrój pogodnej melancholi przeważa, choć niekiedy muzyczna opowieść nabiera dramatycznego wyrazu. Bardzo dziękuję za udostępnienie i pozdrawiam z Polski.
  • @alishalileh

  • @S.W.I.F.T.
    Большое спасибо за прекрасную итальянскую музыку ! 🙏 Вам здоровья и радости бытия ! 💪👌💖
  • Izvanredna bezvremena muzika ! Neverovatno je veliki broj manje poznatih , a izvanrednih kompozitora . Znači veoma potentan i kreativan period . Ali najveća draž i misterija ove muzike je , kada je spustite u ovo sadašnje vreme , ona je jednako lepa , šarmantna , skladna i umirujuće, što nam je preko potrebno!❤❤❤
  • @c.t5136
    What a lovely cheerful piece of music. Thank you.
  • No conocia a este compositor Barroco, pero suena muy bien, me encanta la claridad y cierta ronquera en el violín gracias
  • @edge3220
    First one in and I'm in love already. These are outstanding!
  • Delightful music, so deserving of this rediscovery. Thanks again, Brilliant Classics!
  • Возникает мысль, что творчество Карло Тессарини нисразу было воспринято современниками. Настолько он разнообразен в подаче !!!
