Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello: Concerti, Sinfonie & Ouverture
Sheet Music

SKU: NX.GCDC82506

By David Plantier, La Cetra Barockorchester Basel, and Vaclav Luks. By Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello. Classical. Listening CD. Published by Glossa Music (NX.GCDC82506).

This recording, drawn from the series made in conjunction with the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and released first on Harmonia Mundi (2002) and then on Glossa (2011), places the spotlight on another unfairly neglected figure from the late Baroque, Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello, an Italian who worked extensively in the German courts. The concertos and sinfonias (and one chacona) included here reflect the composer's mastery of music from his own country (echoes of Vivaldi can be heard) and of the French orchestral language as practised by the German composers at this time. David Plantier and Vaclav Luks lead the La Cetra orchestra from Basle in a recording full of vitality.
