About this product

The Venetian-born Antonio Caldara was the son of Giuseppe Caldara, a violinist and, allegedly, a youthful pupil of Giovanni Legrenzi. For more than thirty-five of the forty years of his creative life, vocal music - whether in the shape of cantatas, operas, oratorios or liturgical settings- dominated his output. Yet Caldara began his career by the late 1860s as cellist at the Basilica of San Marco in Venice, and returned to his instrument, if briefly, within eighteen months of his death. Composed five years before the publication of the famous cello sonatas of the most famous Venetian, Antonio Vivaldi, the collection of sixteen sonatas by Antonio Caldara represent a substantial contribution to the late Baroque repertoire of sonatas for solo cello. Those selected for this recording reveal that they come from a collection enriched by experience and maturity, warmed by a fluid and flexible melodic style, enlivened by chromatically enriched harmony, sophisticated in craftsmanship, and imbued with a spirit of confident independence. Album Tracks 1. Sonata Ottava in E-Flat Major 2. Sonata Undecima in G minor 3. Sonata Sedicesima in G Major 4. Sonata Quarta in D minor 5. Sonata Quattordicesima in a Minor 6. Sonata Decimaquinta in a Major 7. Sonata Dodicesima in D minor 8. Sonata Nona in G Major

Gatti Nasillo Morini - Suonate a Violino E Violoncell   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2020 offers a good opportunity to take a closer look at Giuseppe Tartini, 250 years after his death. A first-rate virtuoso, he was the violin teacher who most influenced 18th-century style his pupils, who came to study with him from all over the world, went on to fill the best orchestras in Europe. By crafting melodically and harmonically original language on the violin, he best imitated the human voice by taking inspiration from poetry and it's meter and using it as a model for his melodic phrases. Tartini, Corelli's true descendent, went through various compositional phases by striving to find an absolute and natural style of music, close to the people's soul. There remain abundant traces of his career in a large collection of letters, second only to Mozart's correspondence. The general public is perhaps still unaware of the beauty which remains secret hundreds of his compositions which are yet to be brought to light. This re- publication accompanies the beginning of an Opera Omnia edition published by Barenreiter beginning in 2020 it is hoped that it may outline the illuminating profile of a great musician of the eighteenth century.
