“… As one might expect, these are the sort of works that appeal to violinists, as they are all display pieces with some interesting technical challenges. Violinist Bojan Cicic is quite capable and his performance has a good sense of phrasing, something quite necessary in view of the virtuoso needs of the solo part. The Illyria Consort continuo is an equal partner, so that the entire performance is a cohesive and well-executed package. As much of the chamber works of this period, it might mainly appeal to chamber music aficionados, as there is a certain structure that make them perhaps more fun to play than to listen to all at a go. Nevertheless, this is a disc well-worth getting, both for the interesting, if sometimes quirky music, and for the fine performance.”

These little-known sonatas emerge as very fine music in the distinguished completion of a set, the first six concertos from which were released in 2017.

“…Cicic is a fine soloist, with a pure tone that reminded me on more than one occasion of a viol rather than a violin. Credit must also go to Delphian’s engineers, as the sound when listening on headphones is top-notch. It’s a tremendous pity that there’s not more of Carbonelli’s music, but at least he’s being well represented by Cicic  and the Illyria Consort.  A must-have.” ****
