An expert in the concerto-grosso form (where a group of solo instruments maintains a dialogue with an orchestral ensemble), Corelli was also the first to relax the strict contrapuntal style of his era, is shown in this recording to have mastered the full scope of string sonorities by making violins sound like a full-voiced choir...
