Bach,J.S. / Carmignola 6 Suites A Violoncello Solo CD

An eminent interpreter of Vivaldi, Giuliano Carmignola has always had a great affinity with the music of Johann Sebastian Bach, as can be heard in his landmark recordings of the Violin Sonatas with Andrea Marcon (2002), the Violin Concertos with Concerto K?ln (2014, Diapason d'or), and the Sonatas & Partitas (2018), which Gramophone judged to be "a first-rate choice among the recordings of these works on period instruments, despite the competition". Carmignola's latest project took shape during the Covid lockdowns of 2020 and offers a new and sometimes experimental reading of Bach's Suites ? Violoncello Solo senza Basso, in which he highlights new details and exalts the choreatic character and the brilliance of many of the suites' movements. Having already assured the success of Sonar in Ottava (A472) with his long-time friend Mario Brunello, this recording is the first of a series of solo projects that Carmignola will realize for Arcana.
