Stradella/ M. Ferraris / Ephrikian/ B. Ferraris - Violin Sonatas / Chamber Music

Alessandro Stradella enjoyed such a high reputation during his career that he never lacked powerful patrons and commissions. Regarded by some as the Mozart of the 17th century, this compilation shows Stradella's impeccable musicianship even when no text is present. Newton Classic regulars Mario Ferraris and Angelo Ephrikian are soaked in the idiom, and offer pleasing, elegant performances.
