Queyras,Jean-Guihen Vivaldi: Sonatas For Cello & Basso Continuo CD

Antonio Vivaldi's six sonatas for cello and continuo were written between 1720 and 1730 and published in Paris in 1740 by Leclerc and Boivin. Although a staple of the cello repertoire, these works are not often played in public recitals. When they were written, the cello was just emerging as a solo instrument, and Vivaldi took full advantage of the instrument's expressive capabilities. The cello's low register lends itself to a degree of seriousness and emotional depth. These performances feature soloist Jean-Guihen Queyras, accompanied by a continuo team of harpsichordist Michael Behringer, lutenist Lee Santana and cellist Christoph Dangel.
