Chiara BANCHINI Recital of works by Marini, Ucellini, Matteis, Corelli, Bonporti and Albicastro

An understanding of the compelling power of Chiara Banchini's performances begins with her instrument. She is the proud owner of a truly great violin, one of the last created by the legendary Nicolo Amati in 1674.

In this exclusive recital with members of Ensemble 415, the instrument leaps to life in her hands. Banchini's interpretation of the music of 17^th and 18^th century Italian and Swiss composers is full of passion and excitement. There is something wild and sensual about the playing it bites deep into your soul.

Chiara Banchini is one of the greatest modern instrumentalists, and her recordings for Harmonia Mundi are an eloquent testament to her scholarly understanding of authentic performance. Her technique is at once subtle, electrifying and totally seductive this is an experience not to be missed.
