This review is from: Corelli: La Folia and Other Sonatas (Audio CD)
This selection of sonatas from Corelli's Op 1 to Op 5 is beautifully performed by the Purcell Quartet recorded here in 1986.
All of the works included fully justify their selection - if I had to pick out any in particluar however, in addition to 'La Folia' I would mention the Ciacona in E minor (Op 2 no 12). It should also be noted that the Op 5 Violin Sonata no 11 is included here in an anonymous arrangement for Viola da Gamba in D major.
The Purcell Quartet have since recorded complete edtions of Opus 1 to 4 on Chandos (including 5 out of 8 works on this disc), but if you are looking for a single CD representing these works this may very well be it.
