Virtuosissimo is a photography of an influential moment in music history. With this new album, Dmitry Sinkovsky, a dazzlingly multi-talented artist – a brilliant violinist, countertenor, conductor – goes beyond Vivaldi and his influences: as well as Pisendel, he plays works by Locatelli, Tartini, Leclair and Telemann, all of whom enriched the early 18th-century violin repertoire with opulent, highly personal works focusing on soloistic bravura.
