Composer Biography

Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770), the composer, focused his entire musical output on the violin, neglecting other popular genres of his time.

Source: Booklet

Interpretation

The performers chose a higher pitch (A=442 Hz) and specially calibrated gut strings to recreate a brighter sound, reflecting practices in Venice during Tartini's time.

Composition History

Most of Tartini's violin concertos exist only as manuscripts, as he rarely dated his compositions, making chronological ordering difficult.

Instruments

All instruments used in this recording are either original Italian instruments or modern copies inspired by them.

Performer Biography

L'Arte dell'Arco, founded by Giovanni and Federico Guglielmo, aims to present Italian music, especially from the Venetian Republic, in a new light.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Tartini's 'second creative period' (from around 1735) is marked by highly virtuosic instrumental writing, free from Vivaldian influence, and a greater expressive search in slow movements.

Recording & Production

The recording project involved completing mutilated or incomplete movements based on a deep knowledge of Tartini's musical language.
