3.0 out of 5 stars adequate but not excellent, July 16, 2008

Artemisia (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Veracini: Overtures Nos. 1,2,3,4, & 6 (Audio CD)

The music is grand, elaborate and highly original. However this performance with Alberto Martini conducting is mediocre and does not do it justice. Buy the recording with Reinhard Goebel and Musica Antiqua Cologne if you can get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful music in a first complete recording., January 13, 2002

John Austin "austinjr@bigpond.net.au" (Kangaroo Ground, Australia) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Veracini: Overtures Nos. 1,2,3,4, & 6 (Audio CD)

Play this splendid CD to a friend who doesn't know the composer, and he'll probably guess Handel. Veracini was indeed almost a contemporary of Handel and Bach, being born in 1690. Like their orchestral suites, his overtures contain a succession of short movements, mostly in dance forms. Veracini also composed operas, one of which contains a little "pastorale" once enchantingly recorded by Luisa Tetrazzini.

For this recording, the manuscripts of the works were studied and corrected at Venice, and the recording was made in Verona. Everything here is of five star standard, especially the sound quality. Look out for a second CD from the same stable.

3.0 out of 5 stars fine music, awful recording, June 14, 2007

Ross Kennett "Ross Kennett" (Narooma, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Veracini: Overtures Nos. 1,2,3,4, & 6 (Audio CD)

I agree with half of what David Kemp says, I think it is fine music, but the performance and the sound are awful! I did not buy vol 2, so I can't comment on it. To hear a good version listen to that of Musica Antiqua Koln, if you can't hear the difference then there is no hope for you!

Sorry to tread on people's feelings, and I don't want to knock Naxos, the sound quality in their recordings is usualy good.
