5.0 out of 5 stars baroque at its best, February 19, 2001

By	Alejandra Vernon "artist & illustrator" (Long Beach, California) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (COMMUNITY FORUM 04)

You can't miss with the combination of any baroque composition and a performance by I Musici. Their superb musicianship and interpretation of this type of music hasn't been equaled.

Recorded in '67, Opus 9 is 4 sets of concertos, each starting with one for solo violin (Felix Ayo), then one for oboe (Heinz Holliger), and ending with one for 2 oboes (Maurice Bourque plays the 2nd oboe). This beautiful music from 18th Cent. Venice is a delight, and this CD finishes with the famous Adagio for Organ, played by Maria Theresa Garatti, and recorded in 1960. Familiar to many ears because of its use in films, etc. (like "Gallipoli"), with its soaring, gorgeous melody that will uplift any soul. At one time I had several recordings of this piece, but when you've got the best (this one), why mess with the rest.

The packaging on this 2 disc CD set is minimal, with a small info booklet, and the dreaded jewel case with the center flap to release the 2nd CD (oh ! I hate those center flaps), but this is great stuff, and worth flipping the flap for.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine and sparkling release, January 25, 2000

By A Customer

Once again, I Musici demonstrates how Baroque music can be played so richly on modern instruments. The performances have panache and style: a rhythmic kick and energy in the fast movements, and wistful lyricism in the slow movements without being syrupy. A must-buy for all lovers of Baroque music.

5.0 out of 5 stars a"must" for Baroque music lovers, May 22, 2000

By	"carlr13" (Cortlandt Manor, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Where have you gone?.....I Musici. This innovative ,original baroque group still, thank goodness, plays on CD as it did on vinyl. This group of premiere musicians captures the essence of the baroque era. A sheer delight. And a MUST buy.Just lay back and enjoy musical history at its best!
