A Penguin Guide * * * Recording.

Four of the Op. 10 set are violin concertos (Nos. 6, 8, 10 and 12) and three are concerti grossi with a small concertino group and have non-fugal last movements. They radiate simple vitality, a love of life and a youthful exuberance that belies the composer's age. The playing is warm and musical, and the recording is made in an ample acoustic.
