Stephano Bagliano, recorder and Artistic Director of the Collegium pro Musica, Genoa - Mostly Italian chamber music

This concert, conceived as a friendly dialogue between recorders, offers a varied and colorful assortment of dances, canzonas, sonatas, and Italian madrigals from the 17th century by Merula, Luzzaschi, Buonamente, Cazzati, and Corelli and, to top all this off, trio sonatas by Bach and Telemann. This conversation, in which the instruments sometimes agree and sometimes compete, will show that, in all this magnificent repertoire, the recorder can more than hold its own as a virtuosic and fully musical instrument. It can render all the very vocal expressiveness so important at the time, while sustaining all of the polyphonic interest created by composers in interweaving lines for the two protagonists.
