Day 232
Tartini: Two concertos
Violin concerto in E minor
Chouchane Siranossian
Venice Baroque Orchestra
Andrea Marcon
Flute concerto in G major
Mario Folena
L’Arte del Arco
Giovanni Guglielmo
Another day - more baroque concertos, this time by Tartini. All I know of him is the so-called Devil's Trill sonata, which I did hear once, but otherwise I know nothing of his music.
I am afraid to say that this struck me, like most of the music in this part of the project, as little more than musical wallpaper. Quite pleasant and easy on the ear, but without anything much more to commend it. There were a couple of moments of interest harmony in the flute concerto but that was about it: otherwise is just passed the time without really engaging the brain.
So that marks the end of this little exploration of the baroque concerto repertory. If I continued I might hit the jackpot, but I fear it would just be more of the same. So onto something much more challenging tomorrow.
