Description:

Amongst the plethora of musical styles and genres extant during the mid-18th century, the music of Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) finds a special place. Despite a quintessential expressive style of performance and embellishment, he was to become and remained influential in the known musical world, and his legacy was essential to violin playing for at least the next century. Tartini's obscure writings about The Nature of Reason. However, these came with a twist: his 135 violin concertos and 200 sonatas, of which, and still appear enigmatic - impalpable and mysterious. The sonorous Hardanger fiddle, an ideal instrument for imitating the traditional Italian bagpipes, appears in this recording as a tribute to the composer's frequent use of traditional folk music motifs.
