Albinoni: Concertos Op.10 Nos. 7-12 Concerto à Cinque, For Solo Violin, 2 Violins, Viola, Cello by Tomaso Albinoni / Conductor: Claudio Scimone, Orchestra: I Solisti Veneti This recording is everything an Italian Baroque recording should be. Rather than recording these masterworks in a studio, they recorded them in a villa. This choice creates a very bright ambiance but is in a small enough room to not create any detectable or distracting reverb. A fine balance, to be sure, but their recording engineer pulled it off splendidly. The pieces are amongst the best of Albinoni's.
