Amazing performances!, March 23, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Corelli: Violin Sonatas, Op. 5 - The Locatelli Trio (Audio CD)
This is lovely music, but what makes the recording special is Elizabeth Wallfisch, with Monica Hugget she has to be the great baroque violinist of our era, and here you just have to listen to the opening movement of the set with its wild skirling almost Scottish energy and melancholy to feel the baroque as if it were contemporary. It is a must have recording. The only thing I know of that matches the intensity of the playing is Holloway's recording of the Mystery Sonatas of Biber - but that is very much more mystical and religious, here you have a quite different, intense but wordless feeling.

This review is from: Corelli: Violin Sonatas, Op. 5 - The Locatelli Trio (Audio CD)
This wonderful recording displays all the beauty and perfectness that Corelli would have entended, were he alive today I'm sure that he would be impressed by that hight standard and the innovatitity that has gone into the recording. It is a must have.
