· L'arte del violin, by virtuoso composer Pietro Locatelli, is
one of the most influential compositions from the Italian
Baroque. The work is a collection of twelve concerti which
were written for solo violin, strings, and basso continuo.
·
The collection was published in 1733. Upon its release, the
required virtuosity of the pieces sealed Locatelli's place as a
pioneer of forward-thinking violin technique.
·
For this release, Lisa Jacobs has chosen Nos. 1, 2, and 4. In
each of these selections, the two outer movements contain a
capriccio. The several minute cadenzas are some of the most
challenging passages in all of Baroque music.
·
Lisa Jacobs made her violin debut at age 17 with the Royal
Concertgebouw Orchestra under the baton of Riccardo
Chailly. Since then, she has played in major concert halls
all over the Netherlands, and across Europe. She has one
several prizes at international competitions, including the
International Jascha Heifetz Competition in Lithuana. She is
famous for her passionate and compelling programs and her
fresh stage presence.

"Jacob's exultant phrasing and captivating sonority reaching
new heights." (The Strad, UK) "Ideal combination of passion,
lyricism and virtuosity" (Listen Magazine)
