‘La Folia’ and other sonatas

Album by Arcangelo Corelli & The Purcell Quartet

La Folia and other sonatas is a collection of violin sonatas by Arcangelo Corelli, published in 1700 as his Op. 5. The works exemplify late Baroque Italian sonata style, alternating church and chamber sonata forms and using repeated harmonic patterns and virtuosic violin writing that helped codify Baroque ensemble practice and the violin's role in chamber music.
First released: August 1987
