CARLO ANTONIO MARINO (1670-1735): Sonate a 5 for Strings and Continuo, Op. 3, Nos. 9-12, Sonate a 4 for Strings and Continuo, Op. 6, Nos. 7, 9 and 11, Concerto a 4 for Strings and Continuo.

Description: First recording apparently of any music by this composer from Bergamo. It's the opposite of the virtuosic Locatellian school: artless, calm and balanced, without emotional extremes with some slow movements notable for their particularly intimate and lyrical character. "Carlo Antonio Marino" Chamber Orchestra; Natale Arnoldi.
