Editor's Info:
Maestro di cappella in two conservatories in Naples, Francesco Durante was one of the prominent representatives of the eighteenth-century Neapolitan school. A unique case in the history of Neapolitan music, Durante did not write any opera and devoted himself exclusively to pedagogical works and to the composition of sacred and instrumental music. His Concerti per archi are among the most significant contributions to the genre of the orchestral concerto. They represent a summa of the early eighteenth-century Neapolitan style. Durante blends the main aesthetic approaches of the time, from the stricter contrapuntal style \u2013 illustrated by fugue, canon, and Recercare movements \u2013 to the new galant style \u2013 transpiring from the slow cantabile or in movements marked Affettuoso or Amoroso. Besides the eight better-known Concerti included in all manuscript sources, this recording contains also a ninth concerto found in a single, but authoritative source. \nThe Accademia dell\u2019Annunciata has risen to prominence with three successful albums alongside Giuliano Carmignola and Mario Brunello. Now, more than thirty years after the pioneering recording by Concerto Kln, the Milanese ensemble wholly fulfils its promise with a refreshing reading of these orchestral masterpieces from the late Baroque, to be paired with the famous Concerti per archi by Vivaldi.

BBC Music Magazine - 4 out of 5 stars (Performance) / 5 out of 5 stars (Recording)
The Accademia dell’Annunciata are passionate advocates of these shadowy works. Their sound is warm and resonant yet musical textures remain transparent; ensemble and intonation are generally well controlled…Above all, the players relish the propulsive rhythms that lend these works their infectious energy.

Gramophone Magazine
The performances themselves are interesting. The Accademia dell’Annunciata perform with an undeniable warmth, and often this approaches a very attractive benevolence: special mention goes to viola player Archimede De Martini, whose solos throughout are particularly lovely.
