Baldassare Galuppi's String Concerto No. 1 in G minor

Baldassare Galuppi (1706–1785), known in his lifetime as "Il Buranello," was a key figure in the transition from Baroque to Classicism. His string concertos were long overshadowed by Vivaldi, but are now deservedly making a comeback in the repertoire. Concerto No. 1 in G minor is a perfect example of the "galant style": transparent texture, dramatic harmony, and elegant melancholy, anticipating Mozart. I. Allegro (00:00) is an energetic, almost theatrical dialogue between the violins and viola, with Galuppi's characteristic sudden changes between major and minor keys. II. Largo (03:36) is a poignantly lyrical movement, where every phrase breathes operatic bel canto (Galuppi was no less famous as an opera composer). III. Allegro assai (06:26) is a virtuoso final rondo with an ostinato rhythm and unexpected chromaticisms. Accademia Bizantina is one of the most prestigious Baroque ensembles in the world (founded in 1983 in Ravenna). Their interpretation is distinguished by a historically informed approach, a vibrant sound, and a fiery energy. Ottavio Dantone is a world-class harpsichordist and conductor, a specialist in Italian music of the 17th and 18th centuries. His interpretation of Galuppi reveals the full richness of the orchestral colors—from the velvety bass to the sparkling upper voices.
