Violinist Giuliano Carmignola and cellist Mario Brunello: one of greatest interpreters of Vivaldi and Bach, whose recent recording of the Sonatas and Partitas was described by the authoritative magazine Gramophone as 'a definite first choice among period instrument recordings of these works'; and his long-time friend Mario Brunello, acclaimed for his personal reinterpretation of that same famous collection on the violoncello piccolo (A469). Accompanied by the Milanese ensemble Accademia dell'Annunciata, they offer a highly original, experimental programme. Inspired by the three existing double concertos for violin and cello by Vivaldi - an unusual coupling in eighteenth century concerto literature - they revisit double concertos by Vivaldi and Bach (the famous BWV 1043 for two violins and BWV 1060 for violin and oboe), transposing the second solo part an octave lower on the violoncello piccolo. Underpinned by persuasive historical and musicological evidence, the approach first and foremost reveals their pleasure in working together on an innovative project. The outcome is a delightful opportunity to enjoy famous pieces in a totally different light.
"A very fine team of performers and recording engineers have co-operated to produce a very enjoyable album. You don't need to get involved in any academic justification; because Bach and Vivaldi share an infinite variety, it all works well." MusicWeb
"The soloists are not only superb virtuosos but they converse with the rapport of chamber musicians, and are keenly aware of period style…They parry with daring abandon Vivaldi's barrage of challenges…while to Bach's Teutonic idiom they bring Italian fire and lyricism These are high-risk performances, both soloists preferring raw expression to mere beauty of sound."
