Well-known for his work in a variety of contemporary contexts, and a specialist in the baritone guitar, the Italian Cosentino has put together a tasty trio (augmented at times by trumpet, alto sax and tuba) for this fresh chamber music take on an old theme, the melding of matters jazz and classical. If you have enjoyed Jacques Loussier?s many ventures in this field you are likely to relish what Cosentino and his compatriots bring, with telling economy, to the lucid structures and cantabile melodies of J S Bach and Handel, Pachebele, Pergolesi and Monteverdi. Intriguingly, Arnold Schoenberg is also in the mix.
