Description:
The Concerto Saint Marc Op. 6 No. 11 by Tomaso Albinoni stands in the great tradition of the Italian concerto at the beginning of the 18th century. The Venetian composer is known for the elegance of his melodies and the clarity of his writing. This work is an ideal illustration of his style, combining expressiveness with formal balance. The title is reminiscent of the splendor of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice and suggests music that is both radiant and solemn. The contrasts between lively sections and lyrical moments create a great variety of characters. The movement style emphasizes the dialogue between the different voices in the typical concertante style of the Baroque period. The arrangement by Jérôme Naulais remains faithful to the original while offering an accessible and balanced arrangement. It emphasizes the delicacy of the musical lines as well as the rhythmic liveliness of the work. This concerto is still one of the most appreciated works today, with its timeless charm and refinement.
