Description:

Mauro Dallai, a violinist and composer from Parma, whose career is little known except that he served in the cathedral of Santa Maria della Steccata from 1712 to 1726 and from 1730 to 1739, but he is said to have gained considerable wealth and fame as the favorite of Elisabetta Farnese, who became Queen of Spain. He is said to have acquired considerable wealth and fame as the favorite of Elisabetta Farnese, who became Queen of Spain. He treasured his 1718 Stradivarius, a gift from Farnese's husband, King Felipe V, for the rest of his life, and left several works, mainly violin pieces, but also sonatas and cantatas. This album contains the world premiere recording of 12 violin concertos published in 1725. The ensemble "Reale Concerto," led by virtuosos Luca Fanfoni and Daniele Fanfoni, performs these clear and lively works in a style influenced by Venetian music. Naxos Japan
