António Pereira da Costa: Concerti Grossi

Diana Vinagre (musicaldirector)

Ensemble Bonne Corde

Very little is known about Antonio Pereira da Costa (c. 1697-1770), though the exceptional quality of his only surviving compositions - 12 Concerti grossi - earns him pride of place. He held the post of Chapel Master of the Cathedral of Funchal, the highest musical position in the Portuguese island of Madeira. Pereira da Costa's Concerti are the only set of Concerti grossi of Portuguese provenance identified to date. They were largely inspired by Corelli's, but frequently reveal an unmistakable "Iberian" flavour. These works embody the charm and freshness of a truly exquisite "tropical Baroque". Ensemble Bonne Corde presents the first recording of these pieces, which are a milestone in Portuguese eighteenth century instrumental music.
