The first concerto by Count van Wassenaer was a special treat. The hypnotic and un dulating textures were marve lous, and the two solo violinists spun sweetly above the concer tino, Tartini’s “Concerto in A Ma jor” was one of the most delight ful pieces of the evening. Soloist Francesco Strano led the ensem ble in the dancing, heroic music of the first and third move ments. His ornaments and con trol of dynamics kept the music vital and interesting. Strano’s passionate and full tone at the beginning of the second movement perfectly melted into the cadence of the movement. Throughout the evening, Strano’s musicality was evident in his ensemble playing, especially when the full consort gave way to a thinner texture. The next two concertos were equally well-played. Vivaldi’s “Concerto in A Minor” offers solo parts for two violinists. These parts were executed by the concertmistress of the group, Pina Carmirelli, and Anna Maria Cotogni. In Bach’s “Concerto in D Major” for three violins, Walter Callozzi joined the two in a well-played piece. The Bach concerto is interesting because of its kinship with the “Brandenburg Concerto #6” where Bach also was working with groups of three similar in struments. The last listed selection — and the only classical piece in the program — was Mozart’s “Di vertimento in D Major,” K. 136.1 Musici so entertained with their impeccable tone, buoyant temhos and apparent effortless ness that Mozart surely would have been pleased. The group returned to an appreciative audience and offered a rousing encore. David Stevens is a lecturer in Humanities 201, Music Appre ciation, at Texas A&M Univer sity.
