Locatelli: The Virtuoso and the Poet - Violin Concertos & Concerti Grossi | Baroque Classical Music for Concerts & Relaxation

Locatelli was one of the most impressive violin virtuosos of the first half of the 18th century. Considered today as a sort of Baroque Paganini, he left picturesque, colorful, strikingly modern pieces for his instrument. A few years after a Mozart collaboration that earned them worldwide acclaim, Isabelle Faust and the musicians of Il Giardino Armonico bring out the full narrative intensity of these concertos, worthy of the operatic stage.
