The Op. 5 collection consists of eleven sonatas; the twelfth, and most popular, work is a series of twenty three variations on the 'Follia' of which Corelli was especially proud. Of his works, the Op. 5 Sonatas had the most significant impact on violin technique. This marks the second recording in a series of Corelli's complete chamber music.
The Avison Ensemble is one of England's foremost exponents of 18th century music on period instruments. Their new recording marks the 300th anniversary of Arcangelo Corelli's death. The sonatas in his Op 5 collection were almost certainly written for Corelli's own use and provide the best evidence of his renowned violin technique. --WFMT Radio, Lisa Flynn

The Op.5 collection consists of eleven sonatas;the twelfth,and most popular,work is a series of twenty-three variations on the Follia of which Corelli was especially proud.All twelve pieces contain a variety of difficult violin techniques and director Pavlo Beznosiuk takes centre stage;his polished playing thrilling in its virtuosity.Corelli's contribution to the history of violin performance was immense.All six of his published collections of instrumental music demonstrate his exceptional skill as a violinist and composer,but it was in his Op.5 Sonatas that Corelli had the most significant impact on violin technique.This marks the second recording in a series which will see Linn and The Avison Ensemble record Corelli's complete chamber music.The Avison Ensemble will release two further recordings of Corelli in 2013 celebrating the 300th anniversary of the composer's death.Formed in 1985, the Ensemble has attracted great critical acclaim.The Guardian commented:I'd take the Avison Ensemble over Karajan...any day.The Avison Ensemble comprises some of Europe's leading Baroque musicians,including artists from The Hague,Germany,France, Austria and London,with international soloists from all over the globe.Pavlo Beznosiuk,the UK's foremost baroque violin virtuoso,is in demand as a soloist and orchestral leader performing regularly with the Academy of Ancient Music and Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
