This is exquisite Late Baroque music that pairs well with the (I think) lithograph by Giovanni David. His dramatic, Neoclassical style foreshadows coincidentally the better known Napoleonic artist Jacques-Louis David.
Such Joy de viv deserves more recognition especially this superb edition I have this on Hyperion with Raglan Baroque which for so long been my favourite; but this is better (I love both) Corelli’s music introduced by his pupil Geminarni to Locatelli ; he chose to go Corelli’s way rather than Vivaldi’s making his music different and refreshing although I love Viv .
