A wonderful recording of Albinoni with the ensemble Harmonices Mundi under the musical direction of Claudio Astronio presented by ARTS with 24bit/96kHz sound.

Certainly Albinoni’s concertos didn’t require virtuoso instrumentalists and were much explored by amateur musicians of a high standard. The Op. 10 concertos formed the last of Albinoni’s series of published collections of sinfonias and concerti a cinque. They have qualities of elegance and clarity, the work of an experienced and sophisticated composer who doesn’t appear to be attempting anything startlingly new, but who has established a musical mode in which he is entirely comfortable and which he can gently expand and extend as occasion dictates. There is often a sense of real chamber music collegiality in these concertos, in which the soloists are not excessively foregrounded and in which their roles are often as much decorative as expressive.
