He became known for his virtuosic playing, pedagogical writings and for reworking and ornamenting the music of his teacher to suit larger ensembles and the concert style of his day. Geminiani's arrangements of Corelli's solo sonatas into orchestral concerti grossi expanded textures, added harmonic richness and introduced new opportunities for contrast between concertino and ripieno forces. His work occupies an important place in the Baroque repertory and continues to be of interest to historically informed ensembles and scholars of 18th-century performance practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis two-CD set by The Academy of Ancient Music, directed by Andrew Manze, presents the twelve orchestral concerti grossi by Geminiani based on Corelli's Op.5 sonatas. The recording features period-informed interpretations, clear articulation and ornamentation that reflect Geminiani's approach to expansion and elaboration of Corelli's material. The set also includes an ornamented version of Corelli's Sonata Op.5 no.9 arranged by Geminiani, with Andrew Manze (violin) and David Watkin (cello) as highlighted soloists. These performances aim to combine stylistic intelligence with energetic ensemble playing to bring out the music's rhetorical contrasts and expressive details.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLabel: harmonia mundi usa\u003cbr\u003eCatalog No: HMU 907261.62\u003cbr\u003eFormat: 2 CDs\u003cbr\u003eCD 1 Total Time: 73:09\u003cbr\u003eCD 2 Total Time: 71:10\u003cbr\u003ePersonnel (selected): The Academy of Ancient Music; Andrew Manze (director, violin); David Watkin (cello); Richard Egarr (harpsichord); Alison McGillivray (cello).
