Lydia Mordkovitch - Sonatas for Solo Violin - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Originally published in London in 1771, these six Sonatas for cello and basso continuo were arranged for cello and piano by the influential Italian virtuoso cellist Alfredo Piatti in the 1870s and are performed here on modern instruments.

Composed during his Italian stay at the beginning of the 18th century, at a time when women were not often allowed to appear in front of an audience, Handel's cantatas paint a nuanced picture of the opera heroine. Italian prima donna Margherita Durastanti, one of the few professional female singers of the period, delighted listeners with her brilliant interpretations of these works. On this , 2013 Vincenzo Bellini Belcanto Competition winner Anna Kasyan expresses the multiple shades of a woman's emotional life in a theatrical and virtuoso program.
