NICOLA FIORENZA (c.1700-1764): Concertos in F for Flute, Violin, Viola, Cello and Bass, in D for 2 Violins, Cello and Bass (2 concertos), in A Minor for 3 Violins and Bass, Sonata in G for Violin and Continuo, Sinfonia in A Minor for Flute, 2 Violins and Bass.

Description: Fiorenza brought a Venetian spirit and Vivaldian influence to Naples and the latter is audible in everything here while some of the violent mood shifts audible in several concertos fit in with the notes' relating of Fiorenza's violent temper (he apparently beat and injured some of his students!).
