| This page is devoted to one of my favourite 17th-century composers, Giovanni Legrenzi. In order to make it easier for other reseachers to trace manuscript copies of his works (which are relatively few), I will list the contents of all his printed collections, and I will try to include all the other references I have so far found to his many compositions. Recordings are also rather rare, and (of those) I can only really recommend two... Recommended recordings Sonate e Motetti Musica Antiqua Praha, dir. Pavel Klikar Supraphon SU 3185-2 931 Dies irae - Sonate - Motetti Ricercar Consort, dir. Phlippe Pierlot Ricercar RIC 207 The first recording (and excellent it is too!) of the Requiem Prosa which survives only in a manuscript in Paris, the two sonatas for viol consort, and two solo motets, one with viol parts written by Pierlot. Highly recommended. A new recording is announced (June 2002) by the Pierre-Verany label - I'm hoping to get hold of it soon and post a review. Printed collections These give the title, the dedicatee, the opus number, the publisher and the date, then list the contents with the scoring. All have Basso Continuo. If the title is in blue, I have transcribed it, and you can order it from Prima la musica! If it is in green, King's Music have published it.
