Thank you :) No other ensemble has recorded Albinoni as regularly, generously or straightforwardly as Scimone’s Solisti. None of the “modern“ chamber orchestras that emerged in the postwar period. None of the period-instrument ensembles that took over, gradually but inexorably, in the 1980s — all, or nearly all, of whom have snubbed Albinoni. Our “historically informed“ strings have avoided the Adagio like the plague, seeing too much pathos and too little authentic Albinoni in Giazotto’s pastiche. Even our oboists, who once föted Albinoni as a generous purveyor of concertos that suited their instrument, are now choosing to pass. Was the composer too popular with the previous generation? The film world couldn’t care less and is still making the most of the Adagio in G minor, which made its most recent appearances in Kenneth Lonergan’s masterpeice Manchester by the Sea (2016) and in the brilliant TV series The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story (2018). But in concert and on disc (where full programmes of his music and leading artists performing it are notable by their absence), Albinoni has become a pariah. The harmonious beauties of his music as illuminated by Scimone and his musicians are now further enhanced by an aroma of nostalgia, a Venetian pleasure if ever there was one.
