Immerse yourself in the intricate world of Baroque chamber music with Francesco Maria Veracini's "Sonate accademiche." Released in 1995 under the naïve classique label, this album is a testament to Veracini's virtuosity and compositional prowess. Spanning a concise yet engaging hour, the collection features twelve sonatas, each a masterclass in emotional depth and technical brilliance.
The album opens with the sunny A Major sonata, its Allegro moderatamente setting a lively pace, followed by a spirited Scozzese and a contemplative Largo. Veracini's exploration of E Minor in the eighth sonata offers a stark contrast, with its Allegro moderatamente and the dance-like Giga showcasing his versatility. The D Minor sonatas, particularly the twelfth, are highlights, featuring the intricate Passagallo and a captivating Capriccio cromatico.
Veracini's Capriccio sesto condue soggetti in G Minor adds a touch of drama, while the D Minor sonata's Entrata and Allemanda demonstrate his ability to craft compelling narratives within a single movement. Throughout, Veracini's music is characterized by its emotional resonance and technical complexity, making this album a rewarding experience for both seasoned Baroque enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
