Introduction
On this recording Hugo Reyne, with his ensemble La Simphonie du Marais, offers us an outstanding testimony of that enduring practice of adaptation and ornamentation that marked the Opus V by Corelli since it was first published in 1700.
Adopting a frugal ornamentation which always respects the purity and elegance of Corelli’s melodic lines, Hugo Reyne, through his instrument, allows us to discover some amazing details and unsuspected expressive nuances, that make the switch from violin to recorder of particular interest and value.
The program of this disc is completed by some Toccatas by Bernardo Pasquini who worked with Corelli in St. Louis des Français, the beautiful Roman church where, in December, 2012, this concert recording was carried out.
Press
«La réalisation de Reyne est remarquablement aboutie, parfaitement cohérente et admirable dans son équilibre entre virtuosité et rhétorique.»
— Philippe Ramin, Diapason
«Le soliste ajoute deux variations brillantes et convaincantes de sa propre main aux vingt-trois de la célèbre Follia.»
— Pascal Gresset, Classica
«Cet enregistrement est certainement, pour la musique baroque, l'un des plus aboutis de l'année. Le jeu des musiciens est mature et authentique, tandis que la brochure est exceptionnelle. A découvrir !»
— Ayrton Desimpelaere, Crescendo magazine
«Hugo Reyne déploie une virtuosité généreuse et sans faille dans les passages proprement héroïques et a l'art d'émouvoir par la douceur de son phrasé.»
— Michèle Fizaine, Midi Libre
