Corellimania

"Played by three performers who are all amongst the current masters of their instruments, and with a programme made up of works by Corelli, J.S. Bach, Handel and Telemann, this album promises much. I am happy to say that it certainly delivers almost all that it promises! ... One of the disc's highlights is the second of Telemann's six Sonates Corellisantes (1735) in A major ... Further delight comes in Mahan Esfahani's dazzling performance of Handel's Suite for harpsichord in B flat Major, HWV 434 ... My only minor reservation about this excellent disc is that some of the music it contains has relatively tenuous links with the music of Corelli".

"Det er en supertrio på historiske instrumenter, man lytter til. Blokfløjtenisten Michala Petri, den tyske gambespiller Hille Perl og den iransk-amerikanske cembalist Mahan Esfahani (...) Tre kunstnere med hver deres solokarriere har fundet sammen i et kongenialt samarbejde ... Corellimania er kammerbarok uden for den slagne vej og en masterclass i musikalsk indsigt og beåndet sammenspil".

"Yes, this would hardly be the first programme to honour the far-reaching influence of Arcangelo Corelli. Few, though, make for such a consistently gripping and gorgeous listen as this one does. This is a delectable combination of instruments ... For an entirely different-coloured example of how brilliantly the three instruments and musical personalities blend and bounce off each other, I also can't get enough of Telemann's Sonata Corellisante no 2 in A, where Petri is on a sweet-toned soprano, against the glow of Perl in her own soprano registers and Esfahani's luminous harpsichord ... Add the soft resonance of Garnisons Kirke in Copenhagen and warm, immediate capturing, and, well, talk about an album to put spring in one's step".
