Concerti armonici

Album by Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer & Aradia Ensemble & Kevin Mallon

Concerti armonici is a set of Baroque orchestral concertos by the Dutch composer Willem van Wassenaer, composed around 1740. The music is in a Baroque concerto style for strings and continuo where melodic clarity meets contrapuntal writing and shifts between a small solo group and the full ensemble, and the works were long attributed to another composer before musicologists identified Wassenaer as their author in the 20th century, which affected their place in the Baroque repertoire.
