Lina Tur Bonet / Musica Alchemica LA GIOIA

All six of Corelli's published collections of instrumental music demonstrate his exceptional skill as a violinist and composer, but it was in his Violin Sonatas Op. 5 that Corelli had the most significant impact on violin technique. The Op. 5 collection consists of 11 sonatas and a 12th sonata with a series of 23 variations on the famous 'Follia' theme. All 12 pieces contain a variety of difficult violin techniques.

Lina Tur Bonet is one of the most exciting violinists of the younger generation. She is accompanied by her ensemble Musica Alchemica. Her recent recordings for Pan classics - Vivaldi Premieres and the Rosary Sonatas by Biber – received many awards as 5* BBC Music Magazine, 5* Diapason, "CD-Tipp" (Toccata), "Excepcional" (Scherzo), "Melomano de Oro", and others.
