About
The Italian cellist Francesco Galligioni has himself recorded much of the most significant Baroque solo-cello repertoire for Brilliant Classics, with albums of cello sonatas by Vivaldi (95346) and Lanzetti (95525) and the enormously influential solo Capricci by dell’Abaco (95762). For this album he has returned to the original manuscripts and chosen to record the two sets with different continuo accompaniments – with organ for the first set and violone for the second – making it unique as a considered and stylish response to this rarely recorded repertoire.
‘Galligioni is absolutely steeped in the idiom of Vivaldi’s cello writing and surmounts the technical challenges of these sonatas with consummate ease.’ – Early Music Review
‘My respect for Dall’Abaco’s 11 Capricci is growing by leaps and bounds, and Galligioni’s playing of them is first-class.’ – Fanfare
‘These are performances which marry color and expression to intelligence and good taste. Francesco Galligioni sings warmly through his Baroque cello, phrases with freedom, and ornaments persuasively on repeats... For those who regard an Italian Vivaldi as the “real deal,” this version might be essential.’ – Fanfare
