A very lush recording of these virtuoso baroque concertos, Locatelli’s opus one.

Locatelli’s first published opus is a set of twelve concerti grossi, scored for strings and continuo. They were published in Amsterdam in 1721, when the composer was twenty-six years old.

Although they are definitely influenced by the opus six concerti grossi of Corelli, published seven years earlier, Locatelli’s works are more complex in instrumentation and make more demands on the solo violins, reflecting the composer’s own prodigous technical ability.

Locatelli spent much of the 1720s as a touring virtuoso performer, travelling through Europe before settling in Amsterdam, and was known throughout his lifetime as the greatest virtuoso violinist in Europe.

But the concerti performed on this new CD also show the magnificently tuneful nature of these works. The majority of the opus one concerti begin with slow movements, and the Freiburg Barock Orchester has chosen to open this recording with perhaps the most magisterial of all – the largo of number eleven in C minor.

This is a movement of huge dynamic range, which marches along at a slow, driving ¾ time Its violas and cellos build a thick and sonorous plume of sound, which is pierced by the first violins at each successive climax, until the first movement melts away, and the music returns as a glittering allegro.

This recording contains more of Locatelli’s opus one concerti than are currently available on any other single CD, and is, if anything, even more vivid than the excellent complete recording made by Elizabeth Wallfisch and the Raglan Baroque players for Hyperion in 1994.

Founded in 1987, the Freiburg Barock Orchester made a big impression at its debut performances at the Berlin Philharmonic. The orchestra has toured extensively, and also gives a number of subscription concert series in is home city of Freiburg.

Over the past decade the orchestra has provided the orchestral accompaniment to a number of exquisite baroque and eighteenth century opera recordings, notably those under the direction of Rene Jacobs.
These include what many people believe are the definitive extant recordings of Handel’s Rinaldo, Gluck’s Orfeo und Euridice, and, most recently, Mozart’s late opera seria La Clemenza di Tito.

In its performance of baroque instrumental works, the orchestra works without a conductor proper, but is led from the violin by Gottfried von der Goltz, who is currently Professor of Baroque Violin at the Wurzburg Conservatory.
