Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello is one of the Italian baroque masters, who are not very familiar at the moment in Central Europe, and therefore invite them to discover their worth: in his concerti, Brescianello artistically presents the possibilities of the friendly contest between the two fundamentally equivalent violin voices. In the sonorous slow movements, the two try to overpower themselves in the instrumental cantabile through beautiful melody turns, surprising decorations and gallant phrases. The fast movements, on the other hand, place the virtuosity of the two violinists at the center and often involve the cello part in the concert contest. With the first six from the 12 Concerti Collection, the Ensemble Der Musikische Garten is particularly versatile, which makes it immediately plausible that Brescianello was a highly respected composer at the beginning of the 18th century.
