Vivaldi: Cello Sonatas / Ceccato
Label: Zig Zag Catalog: ZZT338 Format: CD Marco Ceccato, cello; Accademia OttoboniAntonio Vivaldi (1678-‐‑1741) Sonata no.6 in B flat major, RV 46 / Sonata no.3 in A minor, RV 43 / Sonata no.9 in G minor, RV 42 / Sonata no.2 in F major, RV 41 / Sonata no.8 in E flat major, RV 39 / Sonata no.5 in E minor, RV 40 / Prelude RV 38 Vivaldi’s Opus 14 Sonatas are part of the cello’s ‘great repertoire and also some of the works from the last years of the ‘Red Priest’. Quite simply – and regardless of Igor Stravinsky’s curiously rash judgement regarding Vivaldi’s work –, these sonatas are splendid, making this instrument sound as only a composer who is an experienced virtuoso instrumentalist himself – in this case, a violinist – can do. Marco Ceccato is one of the members most often noticed of Amandine Beyer’s ensemble, Gli Ingogniti, (‘...Cellist Marco Ceccato is equally impressive,’ Gramophone, March 2013). Zig Zag Territoires wanted to devote this recording to him, convinced of his great talent and of the singularity of his sound imagination. Price: $25.98 |
