Customer Reviews

Essential (2004-05-29)

This recording sits in the same exalted place as Pinnock's Brandenburg Concertos. The combination of Corelli's gorgeous lyrical beauty and Pinnock's intimate, passionate ensemble is just explosive. I never tire of listening to this, and I agree with another reviewer that this disc could win anyone over to the baroque era. And this is the kind of recording that will not offend those that are allergic to period-instrument thinness. I think what I like about Pinnock recordings is that one feels part of the ensemble, and can almost feel the grate of the bow across the strings. Some recordings are great, admirable, etc. This one I would call essential. It says something about Pinnock that so many of his recordings could be called such. And what a value! If you jump on the Pinnock train, try out Handel's Concerti Grossi Op. 6: available as part of the Handel Orchestral Works set.

Beautiful, full of life, dedicated performances! (2003-03-14)

This is one of the most gorgeous pieces of baroque music ever written. A tour de force from start to finish. Beautiful, full of life, dedicated performances of these great Corelli works. Consistent first class playing and recording all the way through. Highly recommended.

Incredible (2003-01-19)

A masterpiece from beginning to end. This is a "must have" for anyone who enjoys classical music, and my personal favorite classical CD. A+!!!

Lovely performances (2002-04-23)

Lovely, energetic, committed performances of these works. Consistent high quality playing throughout. Everything is refined and polished to the nth degree. A great example of orchestral playing in the baroque style. Recording quality leaves nothing to be desired - absolutely clear and transparent.

Very relaxing (2002-03-20)

I would defintely rate this a five star. This is one of the most beautiful Baroque pieces ever written. Anybody who is a beginner to classical music must have this set of concerti. Each movement has very good balance and tempo. Especially the 7th concerto. Trevor Pinnock is awesome at Corelli.
