The solo violin concerto spread rapidly throughout Europe from
its cradle in Venice where Vivaldi established the genre’s formal
aesthetic. Giuseppe Tartini, however, in nearby Padua, remained fully independent of Vivaldi’s model and established a school of pupils who reflected his own virtuosity and lyricism. The works of the three Italian and one German pupils in this programme contain noble and expressive slow movements in concertos that had absorbed the galant style and the influence of the Lombardy symphonists such as Sammartini. Three are heard in world première recordings.
