Description
In their survey of the trio sonata, London Baroque has already visited France, England and Germany and now arrives at the birthplace of the genre - Italy in the 17th Century.In this period, instrumental music was becoming important in its own right, and soon the violin was recognized as the ideal vehicle for this new style. London Baroque has here selected sixteen works which chart the development of the genre, from its origins to its 'coming of age' with Arcangelo Corelli in the 1680s and provides much-needed and expert guidance.
