Albinoni: 12 Concertos, op.9
( Andrew Manze, Frank De Bruine, Academy of Ancient Music, Conducted by Christopher Hogwood
)
Baroque-lovers should snatch up this disc featuring Albinoni's great Op. 9 concertos; it's the first-ever release of these incredible works on period instruments. The ever-prolific Andrew Manze, oboists Frank de Bruine and Alfredo Bernardini, and the Academy of Ancient Music perform these three-movement (fast-slow-fast) masterpieces with plenty of vigor.
