Notes

CLASSICAL: original compositions by Pietro Antonio Locatelli. Ensemble La Follia Barocca, first violin Enrico Casazza; cello soloist Marcello Scandelli.
24bit/88.2kHz original recording in Sarnico, Italy on November 2006. 

The splendor of one of the most brilliant works for string orchestra from Italian Baroque, interpreted by one of the most admired groups of the moment, La Follia Barocca, led by Enrico Casazza on violin and Marcello Scandelli on cello. Performed using original instruments and according to the most accredited performance practice of the era, these concertos will be loved even by those not experienced in classical music, for the richness of colors, the beauty of the themes, and the splendid transposition of the string sound.
Clear and full-bodied recording, made live-in-studio in a small church in Sarnico, in the province of Bergamo.
The CD was awarded "Disc of the Month" by Classic Voice magazine in its July-August 2009 issue with the maximum rating of 5 stars.
