CD Reviews
As close to the Scarlatti as you can be
Mark McCue | Denver, CO USA | 08/01/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)
"What a fine set, with the most silken, super-refined, luxurious presentation since Ettore Gracis and the Orchestra Alessandro Scarlatti di Napoli did it in '66 for Archiv. Bianchini is a magnificent artist: the translucent light of the string sound is textbook Roman string technqiue, but the close observance of mood, tempo, rythmic and even dramatic values gives it that same, timeless, absolute music stance that pretty much leaves the very correct and very stiff-upper-lipped Pinnock and a lesser extent the slightly scrapy Marriner in the shade. Gracis and the Scarlatti would feel at one with this...and this lessens the pain that that wonderful old Neapolitan set has STILL not been reissued.I would put the Bianchini here right at the top along with the old Musici issue. There really is no reason to wait for the Gracis to reappear...buy this and the Musici...and when that old Scarlatti wonder comes along, get it too, and you're covered. All three in your lineup will give you enchanting Corelli in their absorbing, individual ways!"
