Corelli: Concerti Grossi Opus 6 (Chamber Orchestra of the Societas Musica, directed by Jorgen Ernst Hansen; Vanguard, 3 LPs).

The symphony of its day, the concerto grosso contrasted a massed orchestra with a smaller group of solo instruments-here beautifully played by Violinists Daniel Guilet, Edwin Bachmann and Cellist Frank Miller. The music is vigorous and full of spirited contrasts...
