Works by Matteis, Tartini, Bach & Vivaldi

The six-concert series “Io suono italiano” is dedicated to music of Italian composers and performed by Italian musicians on Italian instruments. The concert programs cover four centuries of music: from Girolamo Frescobaldi and Antonio Vivaldi to more contemporary music by Ennio Morricone and Azio Corghi. Each program presents more familiar pieces alongside lesser-known compositions. These performances were filmed at the atmospheric Teatro Sociale in Rovigo, Italy, in January 2021. In this program, Federico Guglielmo (violin) and Roberto Loreggian (harpsichord) present Baroque music. On the program are Nicola Matteis’s Passaggio rotto e Andamento veloce per violino solo (from Ayres for the Violini), Giuseppe Tartini’s Sonata in G minor Op. 1 No. 10 (B.g10) “Didone abbandonata”, J. S. Bach’s Concerto in F major for solo harpsichord, BWV 978 (a transcription of Antonio Vivaldi’s Violin Concerto in G major, Op. 3 No. 3, RV 310), and Vivaldi’s Sonata IV in D major, RV 755.
