Description:

Commemorative disc for "Lee Musici" visit to Japan! The first complete recording of Giuseppe Sammartini's concerto concerto by Lee Musici. Sammartini was an Italian composer. Together with his brother, who was also a composer, he is known for his role in bridging the gap from Baroque to Classical music. An accomplished oboe player, all of San Martini's works have well-defined forms and an inexhaustible flow of passionate melodies, colored by refined harmonies. This album is the complete recording of San Martini's masterpiece "Concerto Op.2" by the prestigious ensemble "I Musici" founded in 1952, and the powerful performance by I Musici, the evangelist of 18th century Italian music, offers the full pleasure of listening to a little-known work.
