About

This is the first recording of a recently rediscovered manuscript of twelve sonatas for recorder and basso continuo by the English composer Robert Valentine.
 
Born in Leicester between 1671 and 1674, Valentine lived in Rome from 1701 until his death in 1747. In Italy, Valentine was known by the name of “Roberto Valentini”. Alongside his instrumental performing, Valentine taught the recorder, and possibly also the transverse flute, but he dedicated himself chiefly to instrumental composition, leaving behind a large body of work.
 
Corelli clearly served as the model for Valentine’s first collections and his success in amateur circles is due principally to his capacity for combining writing that, while melodic, pleasing and brilliant, remains comfortably playable.
 
This disc contains world premiere recordings.
