About

This brand new recording by Palladians features programmatic sonatas by Tartini, including the famous Devil’s Trill Sonata (inspired by a dream in which he made a pact with the Devil). Also included is a sonata by Veracini, whose skilful playing was a great influence on the young Tartini.

Famed throughout Europe as a pre-eminent virtuoso, Tartini was a private, secretive man, only revealing his true character through secret codes in his manuscripts. His programmatic sonatas ('Didone Abandonata' and ‘The Devil's Trill’ - a deservedly celebrated masterpiece) display his intense pictorial inward gaze that sets him apart from his many Italian colleagues.

Veracini’s legendary virtuosity (which led Tartini to temporarily withdraw into solitudinous practice) created a storm of success in England and led to the popular toast 'One God, One King, and One Veracini!'

Palladians is firmly established on the international stage as one of the very best chamber groups performing baroque repertoire. Constant critical acclaim, a reputation for dashing, intelligent musicianship and a warm, spontaneous on-stage manner has led this virtuoso ensemble to give numerous concert and radio performances in the UK. Palladians are five times winners of the prestigious Diapason d'Or Award, (1993, 1994, 1998, 1999 and 2000) and has twice had albums named Gramophone "Editor's Choice".

“The Devil’s Trill” maintains Palladians best qualities; formidable musicianship, impeccable playing and stylish arrangements, whilst fully exploiting the freedom and range of expression that its new line-up allows.

Artists:
• Rodolfo Richter – violin
• Susanne Heinrich - viola da gamba
• Silas Standage – harpsichord
• William Carter - archlute & baroque guitar
