play chamber repertoire for
their own pleasure. But soon af
ter their first performance, the
group already had toured most
of Europe and within years had
attracted listeners in Asia and
the Americas.
The group still contains some
I of its original members. The en
semble contains six violinists,
two violists, two cellists, one bas
sist and a harpsichordist. The
group plays without a conduc
tor, but does as well as most
groups which have one.
Thursday night’s concert in
cluded concertos by van Wasse-
naer, Tartini, Vivaldi and Bach.
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.
