FRANCESCO CORSELLI (1705-1778): Sonatas for Violin and Bass in D and D Minor, Cantatas for Soprano. 2 Violins and Continuo: Dulze acento, voz Camora, Si aquel monarca de Israel, Al molino venid, finos Mortales, O qué suerte, mi Dios.

Description: These four sacred cantatas by an Italian who spent his career at the Spanish royal court likely date from 1738-50 and season sober piety with dashes of vocal virtuosity while the later violin sonatas (1768 and 1776) retain baroque forms and style; they were created as test pieces for applicants to the royal chapel. Spanish-English texts. Alicia Amo (soprano), Musica Boscareccia.
