Pandolfi: The Violin Sonatas of 1660 (Friends of Music)
Canadian violinist Mark Fewer, playing a modern, made-in-Ontario violin with a new, locally made bow, makes brilliant, blazing work of two sets of six 17th-century sonatas written by Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi Mealli. All we have left of a composer-violinist who served a Habsburg archduke in Austria is this brilliant melding of music with technical exploration of everything a violin can do. With Fewer's dazzling bowmanship, the fiddle gets to sing as if performing its very own operas. Fewer gets elegant backup from two friends of the Smithsonian Chamber Players: Myron Lutzke on cello and Kenneth Slowick on harpsichord.
