Although he left behind numerous masterpieces in his youth that showcased his virtuosic technique, in his later years he drew on his unparalleled sense of melody and, guided by his unique harmonic sensibility, turned toward music that was both clear and exquisitely beautiful—a trajectory that may share some parallels with the later career of Liszt, the “Prince of the Piano.” Couldn’t we say that the fact the long-established early music label Ricercar has taken on this great composer head-on is a welcome new development in the early music scene? Published in 1734 by the Amsterdam publisher that had previously released Vivaldi’s *The Four Seasons* for the first time, this collection of 12 sonatas is a rich compilation that vividly conveys Tartini’s virtuosity and masterful artistry! Meanwhile, the two “Tasso Sonatas,” quietly composed in Padua—where he spent his later years—are masterpieces that captivate the listener with their suggestive program, linked to *Jerusalem Delivered* by Tasso, the renowned 16th-century poet celebrated in the history of Italian literature. Quietly unraveling the mysteries and rumors surrounding these works is the team led by the prodigious Sviridov—who dominated the 2017 Bruges International Early Music Competition (a virtuoso who even masters the works of Paganini!)—and his ensemble. A masterpiece at the forefront of the ever-evolving history of classic recordings, the liner notes by the performers themselves (with a translation included in the Japanese edition) are also a must-read.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ricercar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525312110881,"sku":"4589538724931","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538724931.jpg?v=1789730773","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538724931","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
