Geminiani: The Art of Playing on The Violin

Performers

Composer

Description

The violinist Gottfried von der Goltz and musicians from the Freibourger Barockorchester bring the scores of a fellow of Händel and Corelli's to life: the composer, violinist, teacher and art dealer Francesco Geminiani. His Art of Playing on the Violin and his Sonatas with continuo are of a typical baroque manner and they reflect his own practice of the instrument. With Geminiani, virtuosity is not an end in itself but it serves a pure musical drama where lyrical flights respond to more delicate feelings.

In the press

On peut compter sur la main experte de Gottfried von der Goltz pour mettre ce répertoire en valeur. [...] Jamais, en matière de réalisation, la musicalité du violoniste allemand n'est prise en défaut.
Resmusica

Geminianis Lehrwerk – und das ist bei jedem Ton dieser ausgezeichneten Einspielung zu hören – bildet selbst den Leitfaden, nach dem hier mit hinreißend rhythmischer Präzision musiziert wird.
