Locatelli's concertos are characterised by ingenuity and variety. His Introduttioni teatrali represent a veritable fireworks display of musical ideas, contrasts and effects, whilst his Concerti grossi showcase the soloists' virtuosity.
This recording presents the concertos performed by a small ensemble. This was Locatelli's intention, who, on his travels, played with local ensembles, alternating highly virtuosic and demanding solo passages with simpler tutti passages.
Stylistically following its highly acclaimed release of concertos by Prince Johann Ernst IV of Sachsen-Weimar (aud. 97.769), the Thüringer Bach Collegium continues its recording series on audite.
