There was a remarkable outpouring of Italian instrumental music from the 17th century onwards yet many composers who contributed to this flourishing body of work remain relatively unknown. One such composer is Pietro Marchitelli who was born around 1643 and was active in Naples as an outstanding violinist. Some 30 sonatas survive in a small number of collections. The seven lively and tuneful sonatas on this album conform to the precedent established by Corelli and are played by Labirinto Armonico, an ensemble that has collaborated with some of the very best early music performers.
