Peter Sheppard Skaerved (violin)About
This album features perhaps some of the best (certainly best-known) works by the top two violin composers working in Modena, Italy, at the end of the 17th century. Vitali and Colombi were both quite prolific and produced pieces of wide variety of form, not whittled down to the standard ‘dance suite’ of the middle and late baroque. While the Vitali works have been recorded previously in a version for ensemble, this is the first recording of the pieces in their solo format – and the same applies to the Colombi and anonymous pieces. The album is a fine and fitting sequel to Skærved’s previous solo recording “Florish in the Key” (Athene ATH23211) which presented contemporaneous (late 17th-century) solo violin music from London.
“Genuinely intriguing” – Early Music Review
“Excellent… instantly attractive… uniformly high quality” – Infodad
