Editorial Reviews

Dario Costello flourished in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Despite the excellence and importance of his music, almost nothing is known about him personally. Even in his choice of titles – Sonate concertate in stil moderno – Castello demonstrates his confidence in presenting compositions written in an advanced concertato style. In his second book, Castello demonstrates his ability to combine virtuosic writing for instruments with a variety of contrasts in sonority and compositional style. The formal ideas often point to a latent sonata form as well as to a formal balance conceived in genuinely musical ways. The importance of this collection and its dissemination among contemporaries, as witnessed by the reprints in Venice and Amsterdam in 1658, stand in almost inexplicable contrast to the scarcity of biographical information concerning its composer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Introduce yourself to the mysterious Mr. Castello, May 1, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dario Castello: Sonate Concertate in Stil Moderno (Audio CD)
Probably like most people I hadn't heard of Dario Castello until I chanced upon this CD.

So much for modern style sonate Concertantes, these are very pleasing sonatas orchestrated for a variety of instruments, and which are easy on the ear but not overly simple. I particularly like the brass passages with the echoed responses in the latter half of the disc. The mix of instruments gives the music a distinct sound which belies its' period.

5.0 out of 5 stars A 17th C. feast, October 30, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dario Castello: Sonate Concertate in Stil Moderno (Audio CD)
For those of you who like the Italian baroque. This is a feast! You can think of Castello as an Italian version of Telemann. His music is very progressive and modern sounding yet simple and clean. The life and vitality of performance is stunning by this somewhat obscure group: Musica Fiorita.

5.0 out of 5 stars A joyful paradox! The cutting-edge 17th century music of Castello, July 30, 2008
By 
This review is from: Dario Castello: Sonate Concertate in Stil Moderno (Audio CD)
This isn't at all what one expects in picking up an early baroque CD. Castello blows Monteverdi out of the water! Great stuff, more playful and open than Corelli. I wish there were more Castello for me to find!
