CD Reviews

A real gem

Adam V Vaughan | Bellingham, MA United States | 11/09/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"The quality both of the music and the performance is superb. I was previously unfamiliar with Marcello, but this has turned out to be one of the favorite recordings in my collection. If you have any interest in Baroque music, buy this CD. You won't be disappointed."

Very elegant

GEORGE RANNIE | DENVER, COLORADO United States | 01/02/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"These Cetra Violin Concerti (the oboe is also given prominence to a degree that, to me, they could also be called "Oboe Concertos" ) by Allessandro Marcello as played by Collegium Musicum 90 and directed by Simon Standage on solo violin are very beautiful and elegant baroque concertos. The works DON'T sound that similar to Vivaldi or to Albinoni. There are, of course, similarities, however, the works on this recording, are more soothing to my soul than works that I have heard by the aforesaid composers (that I also love). This recording certainly makes a very fine addition to my recording collection.

As expected, the sound is wonderful!

Unexpected

John Willoughby | Amherst, MA | 06/06/2007

"I had never heard of this Marcello chappie before, but the music here is quite wonderful - elegant, lively and enjoyable.

There is a lot of ornamentation, but also a lot of intricate and pleasing passages, and some clever melodies. For me this is one of those CDs which improves with familiarity; I keep finding new pleasures in passages that had previously partially passed me by. I agree with the reviewer below who mentions that woodwind seems quite to the fore in some of these pieces, and that provides for some nice variety."
