1108 Alexandre Brussilovsky Plays Luigi Madonis

Luigi Madonis, who lived from 1690 to 1770, was a Russian composer of Italian origin. He was born in Venice to a family of musicians and died in St. Petersburg.  Luigi was a student of the famous  Antonio Vivaldi and  then joined the orchestra of Teatro San Angelo of Venice led by Vivaldi.   Luigi was also a prolific composer, although his works are largely unknown today.  However, his music stands as a firm testament as to how Russian music developed during his lifetime.  We are sure this broadcast will prove valuable to music historians and our listeners the world over. The music in this broadcast is performed by world famous violinist Alexandre Brussilovsky, who is no stranger our our listening audience.  Accompanying Alexandre on Harpsichord is Zvi Meniker. In this broadcast we will be playing sonatas 7 through 11 by Luigi Madonis from the CD entitled “12 Symphonies for Violin and Bass, Book 2”.  This CD is available through Itunes and Amazon.
