Sleeve Notes

'These discs will be a revelation to those who honor Corelli... here is his compositional successor. Superb notes by Michael Talbot complement this sumptuous set of golden treasures. Warmly recommended' (Fanfare, USA)

'Graceful in character... melodically appealing. An enjoyable and very worthwhile release, illuminating less familiar aspects of Albinoni's music' (Gramophone)

'En definitiva, una version absolutamente indispensable' (CD Compact, Spain)

'The performances are of high quality, well paced, sensitive and fresh, and the recording is well balanced and vivid' (Penguin Guide to Compact Discs)

'Very attractive music, captivatingly played' (Soundscapes, Australia)
