Description:
The Concerto (S. Z799) by Alessandro Marcello was composed at the beginning of the 18th century and is one of the most important works of the Italian Baroque. It impresses with the elegance of its musical language, the clarity of its melodic lines and a balanced relationship between expression and formal rigor. The famous slow movement, characterized by noble restraint and deep lyrical content, has touched listeners for centuries with its emotional intensity. The work ideally embodies the Venetian aesthetic of its time, in which apparent simplicity is combined with great expressive power. Colette Mourey's arrangement preserves the spirit of the original composition while at the same time lending it new transparency. It emphasizes the contrasts, the flowing musical progression and the inherent poetry of the music. In this way, the concerto retains its timeless freshness and its lasting effect on today's audience.
