16 Sonata, Op. 5, No. 12, “Follia” Arcangelo Corelli 10:15
The 1998 concert programme of La Follia variations by German recorder virtuoso Susanne Ehrhardt and Australian harpsichordist Jacqueline Ogeil was warmly received. The programme proved so popular that they decided to make a CD.
La Follia is one of the most enduring harmonic progressions of the Renaissance and Baroque. Composers from Corelli and Vivaldi through to Liszt and Rachmaninoff have drawn on it. This disc offers a wide selection of Baroque settings, including Corelli’s celebrated La Follia from Sonata Op. 5, No. 12 — Corelli at his most inventive, in variations of shifting mood and metre — and Vitali’s independent and equally resourceful treatment. Vivaldi’s Concerto in D minor, Op. 3 No. 8, often cited as a model Baroque concerto, is joined by works of Chédeville and Scarlatti.
Susanne Ehrhardt has appeared with leading chamber orchestras including Virtuosi Saxoniae, the Dresdener, Leipziger and Berliner chamber ensembles, and the Berliner Barockorchester. As a soloist she has given successful concerts across Europe, Russia, the USA, South America, Japan, South-East Asia and Australia.
Harpsichordist and organist Jacqueline Ogeil studied with Gustav Leonhardt, Colin Tilney and John O’Donnell. A sought-after accompanist among Australia’s Early Music players, she has also performed as a soloist in Australia, Europe and Canada, and has recorded for ABC-FM and 3MBS FM.
Reviews
In an impressive performance the German recorder virtuoso, Susanne Ehrhardt, and the Melbourne harpsichordist, Jacqueline Ogeil recalled these original romping gestures (of La Follia) in fiery and impetuous climaxes.
a lively, rapidly articulated account of Corelli’s “La Follia” ... Ehrhardt is a seductive player. She can also sustain a white-hot level of performance with few signs of discomfort. Ogeil showed her best in self-sublimating responsiveness to Ehrhardt’s line.
it (Corelli) is the last lively dish in a tasty and beautiful menu of Baroque music ... the musicians complement each other admirably, with great elan, deftness and vitality and mercurial liveliness that is exciting indeed.
With many years of study, professional appearances and recording stints between them, Ehrhardt and Ogeil showed all the skills and artistry they have acquired along the way and are worthy role models. This must surely have been one of the most impressive duo performances to have graced Toowoomba in a long time.
