Product details
Jacqueline Ogeil from Accademia Arcadia said, "we named the CD in
honour of Tartini's Sonata in G minor, nicknamed the "Devil's
Trill" for its fiendishly difficult violin part and devilish
reputation, superbly performed by our own Italian Devil, David
Monti." She added; "It is said that Tartini himself dreamed that
the devil appeared to him and asked to be his servant. Tartini
handed the devil his violin to test his skill - the devil
immediately began to play with such virtuosity that Tartini felt
his breath taken away. Upon awakening Tartini immediately grasped
his violin in to retain in part, at least, the impression of the
musical dream.
This work is paired with three superb violin sonatas by Antonio
Vivaldi, Domenico Scarlatti & Arcangelo Corelli, works which
perfectly encapsulate the spirit and elan of the 18th century
Italy. Accademia Arcadia's interpretation of Corelli's La Folia
will delight as will Davide's inspired improvisation on a theme
by Woodend Winter Arts Festival's musical patron, Peter
McGrath.
An award-winning ensemble and the brainchild of esteemed
harpsichordist Dr Jacqueline Ogeil, Accademia Arcadia is deeply
honoured to be presenting this repertoire featuring improvising
violinist Davide Monti, a regular performer in the world's top
baroque ensembles.
Jacqueline performs on a rare Cristofori Piano (made for her in
2015 in Germany.)
"I am thrilled that our Il Diavolo CD will be the premiere
recording of this wondrous instrument." Jacqueline said.
