Though using the exterior form of Corelli’s classic baroque sonata da camera form – alternating in tempo slow-fast, slow-fast – Tessarini’s own affettuoso style has a considerably more modern top-spin to it, melody driven along with bel canto fluency, slow movements rich in ornaments and diminished dynamics, the allegros vigorous and virtuosic. Performances are full of poise and naturally shaped, recorded sound clean and clear.'
