This Italian composer, violinist and composer may have been a student of Corelli in Rome. Many of Valentini's early works are dedicated to Corelli and those composers associated with him in Rome during this time. Service came for him with Prince Francesco Maria Ruspoli between 1708 and 1713 and possibly with the Prince of Caserta in 1714 when he dedicated the opera "La finta rapita" to the Prince. Not much is known about Valentini in the next decades. By 1748 publications of Valentini's works were occurring in Paris including four sinfonias and other instrumental works. These works indicate a penchant for distant keys like A-flat and B as well as high, sonorous positions on the violin. Many of the movements in these instrumental pieces were written in the form of pastorales indicating some concern for popular audiences. ---Keith Johnson, allmusic.com

Ensemble 415
Chiara Banchini violon & direction

Giuseppe Valentini’s music was largely unknown until recent times. The concerto for 4 violins (opus 7n11) - his supreme masterpiece - was the only piece to excite even mild interest. The rest of his works were overshadowed by those of Vivaldi, Corelli and Locatelli, the “great” composers of the period. The realization that Valentini was an important composer of intalian instrumental music dureing the first half of the 18th century is a recent development. His works are characterized by originality, unusual use of musical fors, and by his ambition to set himself apart from Corelli.

Valentini was also a talented painter and poet. His multiple abilities allowed him to enjoy a true monopoly among churches and collegia of Roma; his works were published throughout Europe, and at one point he even represented a threat to Corelli himself. Valentini was quickly forgotten, though, in part because of Charles Burney’s severe appraisal of him : Geminiani, then exiled in London, had reported to Burney that the novel charms of Valentini’s works could not supplant the talent apparent in Corelli’s compositions. Ensemble 415 comes back to recordings with a new team made of talented and renowned violinists trained by Chiara Banchini. This project enables each of them to play a solo concerto and to gather to propose his supreme masterpiece : the concerto for 4 violins opus 7, n11. This record received the best awards in France : Diapason d’or, 10 de Répertoire and Recommandé de Classica and sold over 15 000 copies. “Style elegance, balance, refinement, flowing ornementation, somptuous sound : the new arcadians of Chiara Banchini play ideally this spiritual son of Corelli who opens the way to Vivaldi... Fascinating and exquisitely played” Jean-Claude Travers Diapason 2002.
