His infectious enthusiasm for this music and empathy with its creator are writ large in every phrase: Colli sees the composer as a deeply conflicted, almost Romantic figure whose music is shot through with a melancholy which emanates from various sources... He’s keen to point up the radical qualities of a composer who not only blurred the boundaries between the Baroque and Classical styles but frequently pushed beyond both.
