Opus 2 & 4: Chamber Sonatas is the third in The Avison Ensemble s celebration of Corelli s chamber music and the fifth album in their critically acclaimed series of recordings with Linn. Released to mark the 300th anniversary of the death of the composer the ensemble s greatly anticipated series explores the six opera of the eminent Italian s chamber music: the concerti grossi violin sonatas chamber sonatas and church sonatas. Popular since their publication Corelli s two sets of chamber sonatas are a pinnacle of Baroque Italian instrumental music. They demonstrate a superior level of craftsmanship; they are of the highest quality exquisitely refined and a good example of perfection in music. Corelli s contribution to the history of violin performance was immense: all six of his published collections of instrumental music demonstrate his exceptional skill as a violinist and composer but it was in his chamber sonatas that he first used what was to be known as the Corelli clash .
