At the time these instruments with a fourth-third tuning were known by various names, for example, as the leuto, leutino, mandola, or mandolla. Today the small lute is uniformly termed the 'Baroque mandolin' and more rarely the 'soprano lute'. The number of composers who wrote attractive works for the mandolin documents the fact that it was then a much-played instrument that musical audiences liked to hear. Accordingly, this new recording brings together concertos, trios, and sonatas by Carlo Arrigoni, Johann Adolf Hasse, Ranieri Capponi, and \\x96 of course \\x96 Vivaldi. What is particularly surprising here is the homogeneous sound of the dialogue between the Baroque mandolin and the Baroque violin \\x96 since they are two very different instruments in the field of tonal production. The tonal beauty of both solo parts, with one duo partner supporting the other with accompanying broken chords, produces a captivating effect in the second movement of Vivaldi's Concerto RV 548. Anna Torge is one of the leading virtuosos of the Baroque mandolin.\u003cp\u003eMandolino e Violino in Italia [Anna Torge; Mayumi Hirasaki; Il cantino] [Cpo: 555050-2]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56058658652545,"sku":"768447","price":26.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51hq6dtsX-L._SL1500.jpg?v=1786075039","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/768447","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
