GIOVANNI CARBONELLI (1694-1673): Sonate da Camera Nos. 7-12, ANTONIO VIVALDI (1678-1641): Concerto in B Flat, RV 366 “Il Carbonelli”.

Description: Another Italian who came to England (he became a citzen in 1735), Carbonelli is unusually fond of complexity, both technical and compositional, and also unusually open to other contemporary influences, such as those of Handel and Vivaldi. But the quality of his music, published in 1729, speaks for itself – virtuosic and joyously melodic. First volume released two years ago (07T019). Bojan Čičić (violin), The Illyria Consort.
