Review by Brad Capone

Album Review: Concerti Grossi Op. 6 Nos. 1-6 by Corelli – Capella Istropolitana, Jaroslav Kr(e)chek Alright, so here’s the deal with this album. It’s Concerti Grossi Op. 6 Nos. 1-6 by Corelli, performed by Capella Istropolitana and conducted by Jaroslav Kr(e)chek. Released in 1990 under Naxos, it’s one of those Baroque classical gems that just sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Like, I wasn’t planning to get all emotional over some centuries-old music, but here we are. First off, let me say—the vibe is chill yet intense. You’ve got these lush strings from the orchestra (shoutout to Anna Hölbling and Quido Hölbling on violin), paired with Ludovít Kanta’s cello grounding everything like a warm hug. And Daniela Ruso’s harpsichord? Dude, she’s out here adding these delicate little flourishes that make you feel fancy even if you’re just eating cereal in your pajas. Now, onto the tracks. There are quite a few movements across six concertos, but two stuck with me for different reasons. The first is Concerto No. 3 in C Minor. That opening Grave section hits hard—it’s slow, kinda mournful, but not in a “woe is me” way. More like… reflective? Like sitting alone at night thinking about life choices while staring at the ceiling. Then BAM! The Allegro kicks in, and suddenly you’re running through an imaginary forest chasing something important. Maybe it’s hope? Or maybe it’s just dinner. Either way, the contrast between the heavy parts and the lively ones keeps you hooked. Then there’s Concerto No. 5 in B Flat Major. This one feels more playful, especially the back-to-back Allegros. It’s almost mischievous, like Corelli knew he could mess with listeners’ emotions without them realizing it. The whole thing has this infectious energy—you can practically picture people in powdered wigs nodding along awkwardly because dancing was probably frowned upon or whatever. Honestly, what makes this album stand out isn’t just the music itself; it’s how well everyone plays together. You can tell they weren’t phoning it in. Producer Hubert Geschwandner and Karol Kopernicky deserve props too, because the sound quality holds up super well for something recorded in the '90s. Plus, whoever picked Carlo Maratti’s painting for the cover art nailed it—it matches the vibe perfectly. Here’s the random thought I’ll leave you with: Listening to this album made me realize how timeless good music really is. Sure, Corelli wrote these pieces hundreds of years ago, but they still slap in 2023. Makes you wonder what kind of art we’re creating today that’ll stick around long after we’re gone. Or maybe I’m just overthinking it because I listened to too much harpsichord. Who knows? Anyway, if you’re into Baroque stuff—or even if you’re not—this album’s worth checking out. Just don’t blame me if you start daydreaming about powdered wigs and forest chases.
