About the album

Giuseppe Torelli was one of the most important composers of the Italian Baroque, being among the developers of the Baroque concerto and Concerto Grosso. This disc marks the tercentenary of his death with a selection of Torelli's concertos written for his employer, George Friedrich II, the Margrave of Brandenburg- Ansbach.

Continuing their extensive catalogue with Signum Classics Charivari Agréable, under the direction of Kah-Ming Ng, is one of the most versatile Early Music groups around. The ensemble specialises in the ingenious use of period instruments to produce "ravishing sonorities and full-bodied textures" (Gramophone Magazine).

De ‘Brandenburgse Concerten’ van Torelli op historische instrumenten
Giuseppe Torelli was een van de belangrijkste componisten van de Italiaanse barok en een van de ontwikkelaars van het barokconcert en het concerto grosso. Charivari Agréable herdenkt op dit album het 300e sterfjaar van de componist met zijn Concerti musicali opus 6 uit 1698, opgedragen aan Sophie Charlotte, keurvorstin van Brandenburg. Het ensemble volgt de instructies van Torelli zoveel mogelijk letterlijk op.

Charivari Agréable onder leiding van Kah-Ming Ng is een van de origineelste en veelzijdigste ensembles op het gebied van de oude muziek. Het ensemble is een zeldzame combinatie met een typische klank, dat oprechte empathie en liefde vertoont voor het repertoire dat het opneemt. Charivari Agréable specialiseert zich in het vernuftige gebruik van historische instrumenten om, in de woorden van Gramophone Magazine, “ravishing sonorities and full-bodied textures” te produceren.
