This selection of sonatas from Corelli's Op 1 to Op 5 is beautifully performed by the Purcell Quartet recorded here in 1986.

All of the works included fully justify their selection - if I had to pick out any in particluar however, in addition to 'La Folia' I would mention the Ciacona in E minor (Op 2 no 12). It should also be noted that the Op 5 Violin Sonata no 11 is included here in an anonymous arrangement for Viola da Gamba in D major.

The Purcell Quartet have since recorded complete edtions of Opus 1 to 4 on Chandos (including 5 out of 8 works on this disc), but if you are looking for a single CD representing these works this may very well be it.

      5 out of 5 stars Make "the Italian Connection".......2005-10-13

      This justly celebrated CD really has it all. First, the music is chosen with care to deliver the utmost that Baroque chamber music can provide, from the drama and pathos of Geminiani's minor-key contribution to the hearty tunefulness of that guy who naturally dominates the proceedings, given the name of the performers, Mr. G. F. Handel. (Brook Street was where Handel lived in London.) I can't say that the ever-fresh Water Music comes up even fresher in this chamber version, which is said to predate the famous orchestral version. But the effect of hearing the melody line carried by oboe and then violin (or violin, then oboe) in a game of musical tag is delightful, especially when the oboe is played with such liquid grace as it is by Hannah McLaughlin. This is in the F Major Suite; for the G Minor Suite, McLaughlin takes up the sopranino recorder--just right in this more intimate music.

      The lusty music of Handel's Trio Sonata Op. 5, No. 4--lustily played--starts things off in splendid fashion. It's followed by the elegant six-movement suite of Leclair, a side excursion to France that still, like the Handel, has an Italian starting point, which is the overall thesis of this album. The album notes are entitled "The Italian Connection," and they describe how the Italian musical form known as the trio sonata was disseminated, along with Italian musicians, throughout 18th-century Europe. The booklet makes for interesting reading, just as the whole disc makes for interesting, charming, always entertaining listening. And the sound that Avie supplies is absolutely first-rate.

      4 out of 5 stars Two Great Oratorios from Scarlatti.......2007-06-19

      This edition is a combimation of two previous discs in one package. Any Alesandro Scarlatti oratorio has beauties, but the Magdelena is one of the best and sweetest. This is a great bargain in the two-for-one package. A single star is missing from the rating because there are no supplimentary materials included at this price. I mean none: no track listing, no libretto, let alone a translation. ON the plus side, here is one more good reason to learn Italian. The performance is excellent. Which I expected from Europa Galante.

      5 out of 5 stars Most interesting inspirational music!.......2007-01-12

      'Maddalena, or TheTriumph of Grace'by Alessandro Scarlatti may seem on the surface to be little more than an early inspirational subject oratorio, brought to perfection a 100 years later by Handel. But, looking just below the surface, we discover that the libretto for the work was written by a Roman cardinal Benedetto Pamphili. And, an examination of this libretto shows a level of theological sophistication you don't find in Handel, who was more interested in the drama than in inspiring text. The last verse almost seems to jump straight out of Paul's letter to the Romans 'Human desires wander from error to error, and grow peaceful only when they return to God'.
      A very nice find!

      4 out of 5 stars Correct tempi - a rare treat.......2007-07-07

      I bought this CD because it has the only recording I've been able to find of the Chaconne de Phaeton at the correct - danceable - tempo. I fell in love with this music when I learned and performed the dance for which it was written. As an enthusiastic, though amateur, Baroque dancer, it drives me NUTS when so-called early music experts record music written for dancing at tempos that cannot be danced to. This entire CD is enjoyable, but the performance of the Chaconne de Phaeton is a delight for which I'll be eternally grateful to the Musica Antiqua Koln.

      5 out of 5 stars Pure delight!.......2006-12-10

      The Chaconne, or Passacaglia, as the two terms are usually interchangeable in their use, is an ancient dance music that is constructed on a series of variations developed from a sustained bass figure. This type of dance movement was very popular all over Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, often employed as instrumental accompaniment for courtly dances and entertainment. The importance of the variation form lies in its potential to allow composers to develop thematic materials in seemingly endless possible ways. For this matter chaccone or passacaglia was favored by Baroque composers as both a vehicle for their showmanship as well as an important medium in which to work out and assemble thematic ideas. Many composers have excelled in writing variations. For instance, the famous Austrian violin virtuoso and composer, Heinrich Ignaz von Biber, wrote some of the earliest violin sonatas in variation form. His grand Passacaglia for solo violin served as a model for Bach's towering essay in the same genre, the Chaccone for solo violin in his D minor Partita which propelled this time-honored form to its pinnacle.

      The works on this CD are nothing compared to Bach in their complexity and seriousness, but their naïve beauty is manifest throughout the pieces. The programme begins with a brilliant Chaccone in G major by Lully, with its stately pace and grandeur reminiscent of the court of Louis XIV. The next piece, a passacaglia by Marini, is calm and mournful. The juxtaposition of two pieces starkly contrasting in their moods is very effective and dramatic. Then Corelli's refreshingly beautiful Ciaconna ushers in on strings and harpsichord, with its singing melody as lovely as flowers brought to your window in a spring morning. The Purcell pieces are archaic in sound and feel; the first Chaconny follows a rhythmic pattern while the second reposes in a dignified calmness.

      The gravity of this album is centered on the last two pieces, a Sonata-Ciaconna by J. C. Pezel and a Chaconne by Georg Muffat, each lasting well over 15 minutes. To me Pezel's Ciaconna is a rare gem I have found in recent years. The music is simply astounding, infused with vivacity and gracefulness. It starts with a tutti statement made by the full ensemble, after which the solo violin sings the theme that is to take on various guises throughout the piece. As it is named Sonata-Ciaconna, this piece can be loosely divided into three or four sections. For the most part each section is carried out by solo violin, accompanied either on harpsichord or theorbo, with the string ensemble joining in at the end of each section to punctuate the bass rhythm and summarize the main theme. Near the end the music culminates into a full oratorical declamation by the ensemble, but surprisingly ends on violin in a playful twist.

      The Chaconne by Georg Muffat actually comes from the composer's Armonico Tributo, a group of five concerti grossi published in Salzburg in 1682. Muffat, himself a German, was apparently influenced by his teacher Pasquini and the Venetian master of instrumental music, Archangelo Corelli. In these concertos he assimilated both Italian flavor and improvisatory style with German tradition of counterpoint, as can be seen in the Chaconne in G major contained on this CD. This piece was originally designed for "open" orchestration, which means it could be performed on any combination of instruments, from a trio to a large ensemble. For this performance Baroque specialist Reinhard Goebel has chosen to play it with full orchestra. In the composer's own words, the music "mingles the serious and the gay with most excellent harmony."

      Both the Pezel and Muffat are rarely-heard items and deserve better recognition in the repertoire. The Musica Antiqua Koln plays magnificently and reacts sensitively to the hidden nuances of each piece. Goebel is an excellent violinist as well as a conducor. Recorded sound is top-notch. Wholeheartedly recommended to fans of early music.

      5 out of 5 stars Sway with the music.......2006-11-14

      To buy a disc entitlted Chaconne and then complain because it's full of chaconnes... erm, yes, I should stop before I say something rude. The complaint in the review below about an hour's worth of Chaconne being too much should read "Chaconne, Chacony, Ciacona", anyway, and not "Ciaccona,ciaccona,ciaccona..." because the disc covers a wonderful variety of styles of this dance.
      I'll admit I had hoped that some of the tunes of this recording would be played at a little faster tempo, but they are very elegant and soothing. I have even struggled to hear the dance rythmn in a couple of these pieces because they are played so slowly, but this isn't essentially a problem for me. This is a disc that gets played quite a bit both at home and at work, and has met with either indifference or (mostly) pleasure. I wouldn't say that it's a toe-tapper, but it makes my shoulders want to sway*!?! Thankfully I have resisted so far. MAK is wonderful as always, and this is recommended to anyone who enjoys this musical form.

      5 out of 5 stars Chaconnes for all ears.......2004-12-30

      This is one of the most exquisite recordings of Chaconnes, the most sublime (in my opinion) musical expression of 17th and 18th century. What to some might seem repetitious and boring, is, I think, the highest level of musical inventiveness and genious. All nine composers show in these Chaconnes and Passacaglias how far they can go inventing and re-inventing the wheel. I would single out J.-B. Lully's majestic Chaconne and Ruprecht Ignaz Mayr's peaceful Passacaglia for an easy start. It might take a little time to appreciate the rest but it is well worth it.

      4 out of 5 stars Amen to Pezel!!.......2004-06-10

      This album provides a well needed dose of great 18th century chaconne. The other viewer was correct. Pezel's Sonata-Ciacona in B-flat major is like listening to God. The only peice missing that would make this album perfect is Bach's chaconne for solo violin.

        4 out of 5 stars Underrated Baroque master.......2000-12-08

        Arcangelo Corelli is a genius of the early Baroque. Like other Italian Baroque masters, his sonatas and concertos resemble one another signifiantly. However, I find him superior even to Vivaldi in the warmth and beauty of his creation.Rich in counterpoint, his music merits more attention than it currently receives.
