Raimondi, Rebecca / Demgenski, Sylvia
A Due - Sonate à Violino E Violone.
This extraordinary album explores the historical practice of violin and cello duos in Baroque and Classical music. Inspired by sources like Corelli, Tartini, and Veracini, it revives a tradition often hidden beneath modern performance habits. Through a selection of rare and fascinating works, including an unrecorded sonata by Mossi, it reveals the full expressive power of two string instruments alone. The album showcases how a single bass line can suggest rich harmonic worlds, inviting the listeners imagination to complete the soundscape. Performing without keyboard accompaniment, the artists rediscover a vibrant, almost orchestral dimension. Mascittis suite on the myth of Psyche and Cupid adds narrative depth to this brilliant collection. Works by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Veracini, Mascitti, and Fontana further enrich this unique musical journey. Historically informed performance practices breathe new life into these pieces, blending authenticity with creative freedom. An album for curious minds and refined ears, celebrating the forgotten art of musical dialogue between violin and cello. A refined and adventurous tribute to the spirit of improvisation and imagination.
