Opera Qvinta - Besseghi: 12 Violin Sonatas, Op. 1 (2020)

The instrumental ensemble Opera Quinta, directed by Fabrizio Longo, violin soloist of the team, adds an important element to the inexhaustible rediscovery of the eighteenth-century Italian heritage. The Sonatas, op.1, by Angelo Michele Besseghi (1670-1744) – composer of which, unfortunately, only few biographical information has reached us – were published in 1710, openly paying homage to the edition of his much more famous countryman who ten years earlier would have marked the course of European violin history: the Op.5 by Arcangelo Corelli.
