Concertos in seven parts done from the lessons of Domenico Scarlatti of Charles Avison

Overview

This recording has been reissued in the Essential Baroque Masterpieces collection with an exclusive interview of Céline Frisch and Pablo Valetti:

"Right from our first Bach disc ‘in real parts’, that’s to say one musician to a part, we planned to cover the whole of Bach’s orchestral music. To do that, we had to envisage a certain expansion of the group to integrate more musicians. So we looked for an interesting string repertory that would allow us to hone our expressive and technical skills with a larger number of strings. The concerto grosso form was the obvious choice. Avison’s concerti grossi represented a challenge in both technical and musical terms, which we took up with enthusiasm."
