Trio Settecento: Veracini: Complete Sonate Accademiche
ByVeracini's music is informed by the three locales where he spent most of his time: his native Florence, Dresden, and London. Elements of all three places perfume his Sonate Accademiche, Op. 2, a group of twelve sonatas considered the epitome of High Baroque. Violinist Rachel Barton Pine, working from Veracini's 1744 edition of the sonatas took the composer's travels and influences into account. Her dedication to the project is reflected in her commentary and through her fine performances contained herein. Pine's approach, with that of cellist John Mark Rozendaal and harpsichordist David Schrader is to carefully strip the veneer of these pieces better revealing their sunny and often boisterous character (well, at least for Baroque violin sonatas.
