Locatelli - Introduzione Teatrale Op. 4 No. 5

[Phebus74]

Ton Koopman est un magicien du son absolument parfait.Merci.

[acheciny]

I found the opening music unbelievably exciting and the whole piece has been added to my favourites.

[Ve10nika]

It is in Des Dur :-) in this record

[AbeTakawa]

Is it D major ?

The first 10 seconds of this piece are incredible. I get goosebumps everytime I listen. :) Thank you for sharing.

wonderful piece. Locatelli is unfortunately not well known . He was a great master of the Milan's instumental school, together with the brothers Sammartini. Thank you Harmonico

The "Milan's instrumental school"? I don't know... but he's VERY well known to violinists, musicians and scholars, and - for what I know - to the general music lovers, although not as much as Vivaldi. I lived in Bergamo for 13 years, where he, Grossi, Legrenzi and Donizetti were all born. :-) His "capricci" from his violin concertos are the precursors of Paganini's

AAAh - what superb melodies and so expertly played also. Every time when I see Ton Koopman mentioned it seems to be a guarantee for quality.

Hope one day he will come to Australia and perform here !!!

Freiburg Baroque Orchestra did Locatelli's Introduttioni, Op. 4 too.

[marcorp87]

how many files do you have about this music?? (sorry for my english)

[HARMONICO101]

That's right. Locatelli lived in Amsterdam for much of his life.

What a lovely fanfare in the beginning. Locatelli is truly a wonderful composer who teeters elegantly on the bridge between Baroque and Classical style.

Perhaps a bit of his L'arte del Violino in the future...? No. 2 in C minor is absolutely splendid.

Thanks for sharing, Harmonico!

[HARMONICO101]

I have a few L'arte del violin concertos uploaded, including the C minor concerto. :)

[GMJ7]

Do you? I can't seem to find it in the search feature on your page...

Don't mean to be a pest! Haha. Either way, thanks again for sharing so much lovely music with us. :)

[HARMONICO101]

Oh, I'm sorry. I got mixed up. G minor is the minor key concerto from the set I have uploaded. I can try and upload the c minor if you want.
