Triosonaten op.1 Nr.7-12

This new recording by Matteo Cicchitti and his ensemble Musica Elegentia is dedicated to Michele Mascitti, a Baroque composer who was highly regarded in his own time and is rightly recognized as an important exponent of Italian instrumental music in 18th-century France. This world premiere recording of his Trio Sonates op. 1, published in Paris in 1704, sheds particular light on the composer's attempt to revive the tradition of the Corellian sonata while doing justice to the French "gout" of the dedicatee, the Duke d'Orléans.
