Isabelle Faust has been confirming her presence as one of the world's best violinists. Every time she is in the spotlight, this time she has recorded a work by Locatelli, the \"Paganini of the 18th century,\" with Il Giardino armonico led by Antonini. This is their first collaboration since their recording of Mozart's complete violin concertos (KKC-5691 \/ HMC-902230, recorded 2015-16), which received very high international acclaim, including a Gramophone Award. The violin concertos are graceful yet flamboyant, and the soft yet dramatic sound of the \"Arianna's Lament,\" for example, is heavenly. This is a program that reminds us of the genius of the musician Locatelli, who had an unparalleled talent for both performance and composition. Locatelli, known as the \"Paganini of the 18th century,\" composed 24 unaccompanied caprices in 1733, \"The Technique of the Violin, op. 3,\" each of which contains a cadenza of superb technical virtuosity, and all of which are technically difficult to perform even today. It is like Paganini.It also often requires the player to play with extreme extension of the left hand (modern violins have longer fingerboards than the violins of the time, and Faust even said that Locatelli may have been the reason for the violin's longer fingerboard), frequent use of high notes, and frequent jumping of the bow on the strings (legend has it that Locatelli wore out 12 bows in a year). ), frequent high register use, frequent bow leaps over the strings (legend has it that Locatelli wore out 12 bows in a year), and all sorts of other high skills are required. The music, however, is truly elegant and operatic in its dramatic expression. The works on this disc are also filled with the essence of Locatelli's unprecedented virtuosity, which dramatically evolved the music of the violin. The Pastorale at the end of the disc is astonishingly diverse in tone, with moments of forgetting that it is performed by a solo violin and an ensemble that does not include orchestral music. Fausto, Il Giardino armonico, and Antonini's ensemble are a delight to listen to, and here comes the definitive recording of Locatelli.
