Exploring two-part music from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, Capella Corelli recorded this long-awaited programme of duets in the marvellous acoustic of Santa Maria Nuova, the 16th-century church designed by Giorgio Vasari on a Tuscan hill just outside the walls of Cortona, Italy. High ceilings and thick stone walls and floors hold a living memory of the past, while the challenging acoustic asks for tempi and articulation that suit the church’s reverent, reverberant air. Not for the meek – Wilkinson and O’Brien meet the setting with grace and aplomb.
The music, duets by Blavet, Boismortier, Patoni and Telemann, needs the craft of two-part writing played as a shared conversation between old friends – which O’Brien and Wilkinson surely are. Beauty, humour and disagreement, respect, melancholy, dancing and sheer joy run through the set. The album is full of variety and surprises.

Capella Corelli
ensemble
Capella Corelli, one of Australia's foremost baroque chamber ensembles, was formed 21 years ago. The violin works of the great Italian virtuoso Arcangelo Corelli and of his Italian predecessors were the initial inspiration for the group.
Georg Philipp Telemann
composer
Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Almost completely self-taught, he became a composer against his family's wishes and ranked among the leading German musicians of his age.

La Prima Stravaganza

Capella Corelli Plays Handel and Telemann
Capella Corelli has long been one of Australia’s foremost baroque chamber ensembles. Here they present sonatas by Handel and Telemann for baroque violin, recorder, viola da gamba and harpsichord.
Exquisite Harmonies
Exquisite Harmonies features works for viola da gamba and harpsichord, and several harpsichord solos, largely from the French Baroque. The exceptions are Telemann, Abel and Australian composer Troy Russell. A nice treat is an improvised harpsichord fantasia in the style of Telemann.
