Adagio
and Concerti
Conductor: Holliger, Elhorst, etc
Label: UNI/DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON
Catalog: 469607
Albinoni may be best known for his Adagio for Organ and Strings, used in the movie Platoon. However, if that is all that you know of Albinoni, you are missing a lot. The closest comparison in style is to Vivaldi, and the recommended works are both musical and charming baroque gems.
Hogwood and
the Academy of Ancient Music give an original instruments performance
of the Opus 9 Concertos. This is apparently the first recording of
this work on period instruments, and is a full price 2 CD set. Well worth
the price, though.
The 2 CD Budget Set by I Musici is also a good recording, and
includes the famous arrangement of the Albinoni Adagio. The recordings
are from the 1960's, and are of a more romantic vein than baroque, but still
is a nice CD.
The Bargain Adagio Collection features the Adagio along with
various works from the Opus 7 and 9 Concertos.
