Description:

Gaetano Nazillo, a master at the forefront of Baroque cello, concentrates the best of the Italian Baroque in his musicological research and down-to-earth playing techniques. His first solo album for the ARCANA label, Caldara's first release on the ARCANA label, traces the history of the cello, a relatively "new" stringed instrument that gained great renown in the Vienna imperial household while supporting the music director Fuchs. Caldara's first solo album on the ARCANA label is a collection of sonatas for cello written in his later years in his hometown in Italy, where he enjoyed his personal pleasures. With the reliable support of his two longtime partners, Caldara gives a vivid interpretation of the lyrical style with a hint of early Rococo, which is different from that of Vivaldi and Geminiani of the same period. The use of an early fortepiano in some parts is also attractive. Naxos Japan
