PrestoTommaso Giordani (1730-1806) was born in Naples, Italy, but his extensivetravels brought him to London, where he built his career until his death.He wrote an immense amount of music: best known as an opera composerhe also wrote chamber music for various instruments.Giordani?s sonatas Opus 4 are for violin and keyboard, either harpsichord,fortepiano or organ. They are delightful 2-movement works in the GalanteStyle, like his fellow émigré Johann Christian Bach. The writing for theinstruments, especially the keyboard, is of an advanced virtuosity, rich inscales, arpeggios, octave runs and fast passage work.Excellent performances by the Lithuanian violinist Lina Uinskyte andkeyboard player Marco Ruggeri, who already made a beautiful recordingfor Brilliant Classics of sonatas by J.C. Bach (BC 94965).
