Opis wydawcy:
Deutsche Harmonia Mundi zaprasza do wysłuchania albumu w wykonaniu doskonałego szwajcarskiego zespołu muzyki dawnej La Floridiana. Album oddaje hołd mało znanemu lecz znakomitemu włoskiemu kompozytorowi barokowemu i klawesyniście Pier Giuseppe Sandoni' niemu (1683-1748), który był bliskim współpracownikiem Händla w Londynie, a także mężem słynnej primadonny Franceski Cuzzoni, dla której napisał kilka arii. Doskonałe umiejętności improwizacyjne Sandoniego porównywano z umiejętnościami Händla i był on poszukiwanym nauczycielem w arystokratycznych kręgach Anglii. Rzemiosła kompozytorskiego nauczył się w rodzinnej Bolonii od słynnego Giovanniego Bononciniego i został powołany do prestiżowej Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna jako organista i kompozytor - zaszczyt, który został przyznany tylko wybitnym muzykom.

Editor's info:
A real discovery from the curious ensemble La Floridiana: cantatas and instrumental works Pier Giuseppe Sandoni, all world premiere recordings and a surprise: what was previously attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, actually comes from - exactly: Sandoni.

An album of premieres of interesting Baroque works, dedicated to a composer who was a much sought-after composer and highly appreciated virtuoso on the harpsichord in Handel's time. We are talking about the Italian Baroque composer Pier Giuseppe Sandoni, who was known in his time not only as Handel's assistant and extremely virtuoso harpsichordist, but also as the husband of the famous prima donna Francesca Cuzzoni (1696-1778), for whom he wrote numerous arias. Despite their quality, Sandoni's works have fallen into oblivion; only a few of them have been edited, and the few that have survived lie only in manuscript in various European libraries.

Thanks to the ingenuity of Nicoleta Paraschivescu, leader of the Swiss ensemble La Floridiana, works by Sandoni can now be heard in a new recording. The album contains, of course, pieces for harpsichord solo like the "Suite in G minor" or the "Ciaccona for harpsichord in A major", but also instrumental pieces for ensemble like the "Sonata a Trè" for two violins and basso continuo in E minor. The cantatas "Dimmi crudel," "Chi s'intende d'amar," and "Del timor d'un cor geloso" heard on this album may have been written by Sandoni especially for his wife. In the case of this recording, they are sung by the excellent soprano Francesca Aspromonte.
