ANTONIO VIVALDI
Vivaldi: Sonatas for violoncello & basso
Jean-Guihen Queyras (cello), with Michael Behringer, Lee Santana, Christoph Dangel
[ Harmonia Mundi / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 7 September 2018
'These cello pieces, composed in the grip of the greatest inspiration, remind us of the extent to which the extravagant and emotional brilliance of Vivaldian (and Venetian) art reposes above all on a direct sensibility of the elements in their simplest, even crudest form. Pisendel once submitted an attempt at a concerto to his teacher. Vivaldi immediately divested it of half its notes: one must know how to leave enough space for the miracle to filter through.' (Olivier Fourés)
"If you wanted one takeaway headline for this recording then it would be its sense of intimacy and immediacy; a quality we can mostly put down to the easy, loving familiarity with which Queyras handles this repertoire, but one which has also been heightened by his surrounding decision-making…You won't go wrong with this new recording." Gramophone Oct 2018
