Reviews :
Analogue Productions' RCA Living Stereo Reissue Series No. 2, with 25 newly remastered mainstay classical albums, will delight and astound your ears with their clarity and warm, rich tone. As with our first highly-regarded LSC series, shortcomings of previous editions have been improved upon - from the mastering, to the LP pressing, to the sharp-looking glossy heavyweight Stoughton Printing tip-on jackets that faithfully duplicate the original artwork, "Living Stereo" logo, "Shaded Dog" label and all!
The 13 string virtuosi who make up this conductor-less ensemble did well to name themselves after Areangelo Corelli. Both as a violinist and as a composer, Corelli brought the art of string-playing to heights never-before achieved, exploring new dimensions of dynamics and tonal richness. What makes the Societa Corelli virtually unique among interpreters of Corelli, Vaivaldi and other masters of that period is their style. Their tone production, use of vibrato and other subtleties evident in this performance are artistic, creative and vital music-making.
