Benedetto Marcello: Complete Cello Sonatas
A Venetian nobleman, jurist and musician, Benedetto Marcello shaped in his Six Cello Sonatas op. 1 a patrician balance of Baroque affect and elegance: eloquent slow movements, radiant Allegros, a vocal line buoyed by pliant continuo. The Venetian academy spirit breathes through each page. To the sonatas collection, this recording set adds a seventh incomplete one in B flat major. With Francesco Galligioni, Rolando Moro and Roberto Loreggian, the album restores a foundational chapter of the Baroque cello repertoire - refined yet approachable - for listeners seeking historical roots and the sheer pleasure of melody.
