5 out of 5 stars Recommended.......2000-02-16

This selection of sonatas from Corelli's Op 1 to Op 5 is beautifully performed by the Purcell Quartet recorded here in 1986.

All of the works included fully justify their selection - if I had to pick out any in particluar however, in addition to 'La Folia' I would mention the Ciacona in E minor (Op 2 no 12). It should also be noted that the Op 5 Violin Sonata no 11 is included here in an anonymous arrangement for Viola da Gamba in D major.

The Purcell Quartet have since recorded complete edtions of Opus 1 to 4 on Chandos (including 5 out of 8 works on this disc), but if you are looking for a single CD representing these works this may very well be it.

3 out of 5 stars London Baroque's later Corelli recordings are better.......2004-10-26

If it were a matter of the recorded sound only, this 1986 effort from London's Abbey Road studios would score full marks: everything here is very directly and clearly captured, and the balance between the instruments is perfect. But unfortunately the playing is as direct and relentless as the sound, leaving little or no room for nuances and making one wonder why Arcangelo Corelli was so famous in his day. The CD appears to have been London Baroque's first attempt at Corelli's sonatas and offers a selection from all six of his published works: two sonatas each from opus 1 and 2 respectively, one sonata each from opus 3, 4 and 5 and a somewhat mutilated solo version of the concerto grosso opus 6, no. 5: Corelli is known to have played these pieces with quite large forces, but he also made provision for them to be played as trio sonatas. London Baroque were not satisfied with Corelli's chamber version, however, and restored the viola and the violone from the larger concerto, which may be legitimate as far as the sound goes but surely can no longer be called 'historical performance practice'. The group later recorded all of the sonatas from opus 1 through 4 on 4 Cds for Harmonia Mundi, and as these have been re-released at budget price, budding Corelli fans should turn there rather than to this forerunner. If price is no object, the recordings by the Purcell Quartet on Chandos Chaconne would probably be an even better choice.

4 out of 5 stars Cultured and virtuosic, strictly historical.......2007-07-23

Arcangelo Corelli (1653 - 1713): Sonate a Violino o Cimbalo op. V (Numbers 1, 3, 7, 11 and 12 "La Follia"). Performed by Sigiswald Kuijken, violin (Giovanni Grancino, 1700), Wieland Kuijken, violoncello (Andrea Amati, 1570) and Robert Kohnen, harpsichord (Joannes Daniel Dulcken, Antwerp 1755). Recorded in April 1984 in the "Chapelle Royale" of the Protestant Church in Brussels, Belgium. Reissued in 2006 as Accent 10033. Total playing time: just over 55 minutes.

After a first listening to this CD, I laid it aside for a while because I found the strict historicity and the somewhat hard sound to be a little off-putting. However, later, on repeated listenings, I have come to see that this recording has a number of merits, not the least of which being Sigiswald Kuijken's magnificent performance of music which is known to qualify its composer as a perfectionist. Kuijken not only plays a historical instrument, he also plays it in historical style, refusing to rest the violin under his chin and instead just leaning it on his shoulder. And of course he uses gut strings tuned to historical temperament, which, although the Accent booklet does not give any information, is, for Rome around 1700, usually around A = 390 Hz. And Kuijken carefully avoids anything approaching the modern use of vibrato, all of which adds up to a sound which, on first hearing, can jar on modern ears. But once you have got used to the low "tessitura" and the somewhat "blunt" sound of the lower notes, it is perfectly possible, as I have discovered, to begin to enjoy and appreciate what Kuijken is doing here, namely giving a cultured and virtuosic performance of a selection of Corelli's most famous sonatas while using, at least in part, the decorations indicated in early printed versions of these pieces. He is accompanied by his brother Wieland on a rather dark-sounding cello and by Robert Kohnen on a Dutch harpsichord of the period, and all this in the rather sober acoustics of an empty chapel, and it is the overall impression that this sound makes which, in the end, robs the disc, to my mind, of its fifth star: there are much more pleasant-sounding recordings of this material available from major labels, but I suspect none of them is so historically well-informed as this one from Accent, which was, until recently, a specialist artists' label producing material chosen by the performers with little regard to its chances on the market.
