Immerse yourself in the intricate and virtuosic world of Pietro Locatelli's "L'arte del violino, Op. 3," a monumental collection of violin concertos that showcases the composer's extraordinary skill and innovation. Released on July 5, 2019, under the Tactus label, this album spans an impressive two hours and fifty-five minutes, offering a comprehensive journey through Locatelli's Op. 3 set of twelve concertos.
Each concerto is a masterclass in baroque violin technique, featuring a mix of lyrical movements and dazzling "Capriccio" sections that highlight the instrument's full range. From the exuberant Allegro of the first concerto to the introspective Adagio of the sixth, Locatelli's compositions are as diverse as they are technically demanding. The final concerto, with its intricate Capriccio No. 20, serves as a fitting climax to this remarkable collection.
