isn't it solo sonata?? mayby i'm a freak but for me solo sonata is solist and continuo (organ or viola), not a whole orchestra... mayby change name of the movie to nice orchestration of arcangelo corelli sonata or something
+Jakub Sowa Very basically, the "continuo" section is made of at least 2 musicians, one for the bass line (cello, bassoon, ...), the other to play the chords (harpsichord, theorbo, organ, harp, ...). They made the choice here to take 3 players which is really not excessive; they also could have added a double bass, an organ, a theorbo and a baroque guiitar, basically all playing the same line and chords! Altough I understand your point, at some moments it feels like there is a whole orchestre playing, but I would rather blame it on the recording (the continuo is far too loud in the balance, I bet they used a compressor and even perhaps added extra reverberation)... The sound engineer's work is at least as important as the musician's!

As we can read, the Italian used a lot of improvised gracements. Such we can hear in this record. They used to have a continuo with more intruments than two. Here we can hear three. That is one more. I look for the publikation with two or three instruments more in the BC. maybe even a double bass, but they are rare. Do you know one?@@jdelombaerde
@@martinh1277 I don't see any example for Corelli's sonatas, but there are some examples with Bruno Cocset's recordings of Barrière (with cello, double bass, theorbo and harpsichord). I remember for example, when I was still studying, we had a programme of 17th century German music for a small tour in Belgium ... We were with 3 violins, solo singers for some cantatas, then 2 gambas, 1 cello, 1 violone in G, organ, harpsichord and theorbo for the B.C. parts :p And we played Pachelbel canon & gigue, with more musicians in the continuo than violins! ... T-T
