‘The Avison Ensemble offer suave, personable performances, allowing this exquisitely engaging music to do its own work.’ The Sunday Times ‘What emerges in Pavlo Beznosiuk’s supple performance with the Avison Ensemble is music of immense suavity and elegance – from the enchanting Largo of the 6th, to the tender pastoral of the Christmas Concerto.’ The Independent The Op. 5 collection consists of eleven sonatas; the twelfth, and most popular, work is a series of twenty-three variations on the ‘Follia' of which Corelli was especially proud. All twelve pieces contain a variety of difficult violin techniques and director Pavlo Beznosiuk takes centre stage; his polished playing thrilling in its virtuosity. Corelli's contribution to the history of violin performance was immense. All six of his published collections of instrumental music demonstrate his exceptional skill as a violinist and composer, but it was in his Op. 5 Sonatas that Corelli had the most significant impact on violin technique. The Avison Ensemble comprises some of Europe's leading Baroque musicians, including artists from The Hague, Germany, France, Austria and London, with international soloists from all over the globe. The Ensemble has attracted great critical acclaim since its formation in 1985: ‘The Avison Ensemble offer suave, personable performances, allowing this exquisitely engaging music to do its own work.' The Sunday Times (on Arcangelo Corelli Opus 6: Concerti Grossi) ‘What emerges in Pavlo Beznosiuk's supple performance with the Avison Ensemble is music of immense suavity and elegance - from the enchanting Largo of the 6th, to the tender pastoral of the Christmas Concerto.' The Independent (on Arcangelo Corelli Opus 6: Concerti Grossi)
