Accompanied by the Venice Baroque Orchestra conducted with tonicity by Andrea Marcon, Chouchane Siranossian devotes his new album to dazzling Venetian Baroque concertos.
Violinist Chouchane Siranossian offers us a new recording bringing together four masters of Venetian Baroque, all born at the end of the 17th century and having developed their art in the first half of the 18th century. Following Arcangelo Corelli who died in 1713, these composers are all driven by fantasy and virtuosity. We also discover here little-played concertos, the first of which, composed by Francesco-Maria Veracini for eight different instruments with the presence of oboe, trombone and timpani, has a very festive effect. Pietro Locatelli developed the “Caprice” style in rapid movements, exacerbating the great virtuosity of the solo violin, which Nicolo Paganini would later develop. Giuseppe Tartini leaves to posterity 130 violin concertos from which emerge a well-marked personality in the affirmation of tonality and richly ornamented outbursts, both intimate and virtuoso.
As for Antonio Vivaldi, he is represented here with one of his most exciting concertos, the famous Grosso Mogul which Johann Sebastian Bach himself did not fail to notice and to make a sumptuous transcription for the organ (BWV 594). We are faced with a large-scale concerto of more than 16 minutes presented in the traditional way in three movements (fast-slow-fast). There is something magical in this work where the soloist is heroic and must face a thousand and one difficulties of execution in the service of total freedom and completely assumed fantasy. The central movement in the form of a recitative takes us far into distant tones and its impulses close to the gypsy. The long finale never ceases to offer multitudes of flowery and crackling garlands.
In a precise sound recording, the Venetian baroque orchestra, conducted to the millimeter by Andrea Marcon, works wonders. In this setting the soloist can flourish her free and luminous playing as she wishes. Many passages seem improvised to provide even more breathing space for the composers’ inspirations. Such repertoires are thus revealed in their true, dizzying dimensions, recalling the festivals and emotions of eternal Venice.
