Chouchane Siranossian, Venice Baroque Orchestra, Andrea Marcon
French violinist Chouchane Siranossian tackles a programme of extremely virtuosic concertos that few Baroque violinists dare to face. Thanks to her technical gifts and to partners ideally suited to this repertory - the Venice Baroque Orchestra and its conductor Andrea Marcon, a specialist in the Italian Baroque style - she takes up the challenge with brio.
There’s a wonderfully spontaneous, almost rough-and-ready quality to these performances: resin flies and rhythms swing in the stomping gigas, whilst the mesmerising siciliana of the first concerto on the album is full of chromatic twists and turns that wouldn’t sound out of place in music written two centuries later.
[Siranossian plays] with “diabolical” virtuosity and a rich, expressive palette in the aria-like slow movements. Superb.
