I Musici
I Musici here performs the concerti grossi of Alessandro Scarlatti and his flute concerti. Scarlatti tended to be rather conservative in his compositions by adhering strictly to Corelli's concerto grosso model. He is not Vivaldi, Locatelli, or Torelli, but his pieces have somewhat of a pastoral warmth to them. The flutes perform very well here and I Musici's performances usually go without saying. With almost 50 years under their belt and widespread acclaim from prominent figures such as Toscanini, buying most of their albums is usually a safe bet. This one is a great buy from a lesser known (but not obscure) composer of the High Baroque era.
