Notes & Reviews:

It was as a virtuoso oboist that the Italian Giovanni Benedetto Platti entered the service of the Prince-Bishop of Wurzburg, who had a pronounced taste for musical exoticism. But he soon revealed his gifts as a composer, notably in the works he wrote for his patron's brother Rudolf Franz Erwein, an enthusiastic amateur cellist. His Concerti grossi, derived from chamber works by Corelli, show him to be a worthy heir to the great Italian master of the genre. Performed here by the Akademie fur alte Musik Berlin, these rarely heard gems of the Baroque sparkle as never before.

Gramophone Magazine
Platti... was a virtuoso oboist: the D minor Largo of his Concerto, tender and melancholy, more than makes up for the rather formulaic cast of the outer movements. Xenia Löffler produces beautifully rounded tone...
