About

Pietro Nardini (1722-1793), a pupil of Tartini, is typical of violinists /composers of the time. Most of his works feature the violin, both in orchestral and chamber pieces.

Although he himself had a great aptitude for the instrument, his solo concertos are not virtuosic showpieces. His own playing was apparently very emotive and he felt comfortable in smaller scale works such as the sonatas.

In these, he followed the order of movements favoured by Tartini: slow, fast, fast. These two CDs contain some examples of this now unusual structure.

The excellent Ensemble Ardi Cor Mio has dedicated itself to rediscovering and performing music by 17th- and 18th-century Italian composers. This is a record long overdue, this music being virtually absent from the musical stage for several centuries.
