TOMASO ALBINONI (1671-1751): From Trattenimente da camera, Op. 6: (Violin) Sonatas in C Minor (10), in A Minor, (6), and in G Minor, (2), Sonate IV in A, Sonate "per il Signore Pisendel" in B Flat.

Description: Less showy and virtuosic than many of his contemporaries, Albinoni leaned more toward lyrical expression and poise, although he could dial it up a notch in rare pieces like the one on this disc composed for Pisendel to play. Guillaume Rebinguet-Sudre (violin), Claire Gratton (vello), Jean-Luc Ho (harpsichord).
