Vivaldi: Cello Sonatas

L'Arte Dell'Arco

95346

L’Arte dell’Arco and Federico Guglielmo have made many well-received recordings for Brilliant Classics focusing on the music of the ‘Red Priest’, Antonio Vivaldi. With concertos, operas, motets and much more, they have covered most of their Venetian predecessor’s output. Most notably they have recorded all the concertos and chamber music within his published Opp. 1-12 set (BC95200), now released as an invaluable box set of 20CDs. Their trademark qualities of rhythmic elan and light textures are now brought to six of the composer’s nine surviving cello sonatas. These were not assigned an opus number but were published together in 1740, just ayear before his death. That the sonatas are late works may also be inferred from the borrowing of earlier music, including arias from his operas.
