Carmine Miranda

Composed by: Piatti, Carlo Alfredo

A renowned cellist in his own time, Carlo Alfredo Piatti (1822-1901) is known for composing his 12 Caprices, a set recognized for its technical difficulty and complexity, and widely used as developmental exercises for cellists. + On his debut Navona Records release, Piatti: 12 Caprices For Solo Cello, Venezuelan/American cellist Carmine Miranda interprets these virtuosic solo cello pieces, showing them as works that withstand treatment as significant concert repertoire. + Each of Piatti’s caprices has its own character with distinct writing style, musicality and emotion, while illustrating the prominence of violin music on Piatti’s writing. + Carmine Miranda attended the University Of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music where he obtained undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees, studying under the direction of cellist Yehuda Hanani. + He has performed in concert venues such as the Aula Magna Hall in Caracas, Venezuela and Carnegie Hall.
