		Bostridge seems to me to hit the right expression in every piece without exception, and he is admirably offset by the Europa Galante group, not just the instrumentalists but also the three singers who perform the final chorale in Ich Armer Mensch.
		In addition to the arias, recitatives and the one chorus, there are three short instrumental numbers, the disc being rounded off with a sinfonia from the Peasant Cantata, providing an unexpected and pleasant contrast to the unrelieved devoutness of the rest of it.
		He is beautifully accompanied by an ensemble called Europa Galante which also plays three of Bach´s sinfonias for orchestra, without voice.

		Formed in 1990 as one of Italy's pioneering period instrument ensembles, Europa Galante (with its leader Fabio Biondi) is decidedly in the "subjectivist" camp of period instrument performers - those who believe that creating an exciting experience for modern-day listeners is more important than pure "authenticity".
		As might be expected, the strongest tracks on this set are the concerti grossi and the concertos for multiple violins, where Biondi's eccentricities are tempered by his colleagues, and the efforts of the band as a whole cohere to produce vibrant, exciting, meaningful performances.
		Europa Galante is an excellent ensemble, but in my opinion the problem here was the conductor.

		Clad in a simple polo shirt and trousers, Biondi is seated in the workshop of luthier Desiderio Quercetani, the violin maker who has made most of the instruments for the members of Europa Galante.
		But while Europa Galante has made a commitment to showcasing Italian opera, it is the ensemble's dedication to chamber music that has brought it international recognition.
		But Biondi is most excited not by commercial success or that Europa Galante has shown that a new generation of young musicians is embracing Baroque chamber music, but by the ensemble's ability to rise above the mere pursuit of virtuosity.

		In the hands of Fabio Biondi and his Europa Galante, Boccherini's chamber works comes fully to life.
		Here, Boccherini wished to portray the advance and recession of a night patrol in Madrid, and so the members of Europa Galante "proceed" across the soundstage from left to right, taking center stage for a powerful rendition of the middle variations of the movement before receding out of "sight" at last.
		And I'm glad to report that thanks to musicians such as Europa Galante, classical music is alive and well in the early years of the 21st century.

		With the catalog listing dozens of recordings of Vivaldi's ever-popular "Four Seasons," an obvious question is "why do we need yet another recording of this overplayed masterpiece?" While one part of me says we probably don't, another part of me is glad that Fabio Biondi and the Europa Galante produced this interesting period recording.
		Fabio Biondi performs here as solo violinist with Europa Galante in their more traditional interpretation of Antonio Vivaldi's 'Il Cimento Dell'Armonia...' of which the famous lyrical piece 'The Four Seasons' is part.
		Although this is certainly not the worst interpretation of this piece on the market, it is certainly not one of the best ones either.

		And the performers: Roberta Invernizzi bringing a burnished radiance to Faith, offset by the lighter beauty of Veronique Gens as Divine Love, while Paul Agnew's Faithlessness mocks their beliefs with a range of incredulous gestures, doubtful silences and dizzying changes of speed.
		It's all propelled with tremendous gusto by Europa Galante directed from the violin by Fabio Biondi, one moment whipping up a ferocious tempo, the next stepping aside to let his continuo team accompany the singers' recitatives with great sensitivity.
		Biondi never pushes the score harder than it'll bear, and caresses the details with such affection that you'll soon be persuaded that this is more neglected masterpiece than overlooked oratorio.
