Marco Uccellini (1610-1680) of Modena broke new ground in the development of the virtuoso
sonata for solo violin. Those sonate selected on this CD from his large output demonstrate his
expansion of the then prevalent short form of several sections amounting to some 60 bars.
Uccellini tends to sequence small, slightly varying motifs; in some of them there is a contrasted
second part in triple time, with scale passages and dance-like passages. He demands
considerable virtuosity from his soloists.
“Helene Schmitt is delicate in her phrasing and nuances. Her playing is in a collaborative,
chamber music style, and the programme's particular strength is the varied instrumentation of the
continuo. Markus Märkl plays a delicious little chamber organ of great character, made to an old
Italian model. Helene Schmitt is well supported also on baroque guitar and theorbo, cello and the
deeper toned violone. The recording and back up information are excellent and deserves a high
rating for collectors prepared to explore a fairly obscure composer of the mid 17th century.”
