Info for Tessarini: Sei Sonate op. 14 · Il Piacier delle dame

Japanese flutist Eriko Oi, winner of the International Early Music Competition in Yamanashi (Japan), is joined by harpsichordist Tung-Han Hu in this production featuring the world premiere recording of works for flute and continuo by Italian composer Carlo Tessarini, born in Rimini in the late 17th century. A violin virtuoso active throughout Europe and a prolific composer, Tessarini – like many of his contemporaries – also ventured into writing for the flute, significantly enriching the instrument’s repertoire. The performance of the two collections presented in this album demonstrates that Tessarini was undoubtedly a profound connoisseur of the flute’s unique qualities, fully exploiting its dynamic and expressive potential.
