Guglielmo/Cantalupi - Stravaganze Barocche

The �Hellier� 1679 violin and the �Sabionari� 1679 guitar are two wonderful instruments made in the same year by Antonio Stradivari, the greatest violin maker of the history. For this recording, effected in the Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi at Museo del Violino di Cremona, the Hellier violin and Sabionari guitar have been made available on an entirely exceptional basis to two famous Italian artists: Federico Guglielmo and Diego Cantalupi . The exceptional nature of the two instruments, and in particular the wonderful decorations of the Hellier violin, inspired the choice of musical pieces and the title of the cd: Baroque extravagances.
