Description:

Grammy Award-winning violinist Nicola Benedetti's new recording is a Baroque album! Decca Classics announces a new release by Grammy Award-winning violinist Nicola Benedetti. The new album is the first Baroque album Benedetti has released in a period setting, including gut strings, and features the Benedetti Baroque Orchestra with a group of freelance Baroque musicians. In addition to Vivaldi's concerto, the album features Geminiani's arrangement of Corelli's "La Follia" in a remarkable way. This theme is one of the oldest themes in Western classical music and has been arranged by many composers, especially during the Baroque period. Geminiani was one of the greatest violinists of his time, and Corelli was one of his teachers while he was growing up in Italy. Universal Music/IMS
