Zachary Carrettin (viola)About
‘I recorded these pieces during the Covid-19 pandemic, just weeks after my uncle in Italy passed away, and my aunt in Florida passed away, and while my dear friend in Colorado was preparing himself to pass onward from this life as well. Due to Coronavirus concerns, my partner in life and music – Mina, our chihuahua Apple, and I drove thirty hours each way from Colorado to Virginia and back, not stopping at restaurants nor hotels, to make this recording at the chapel of Sono Luminus Studios.
‘The Cello Suites themselves are each a guide to musical (and self) transformation. The map (the notation) isn’t detailed, thankfully. There’s room for a wide variety of interpretations, both in the sense of the macro – tempo and breadth, and at the micro – each melodic fragment, chord voicing, and musical gesture. These pieces have transformed in our cultural consciousness since the masterful performances of Pablo Casals in the 1930s, the subsequent rise of the Early Music Movement in the last two or three decades of the 20th Century, and now, at the start of the third decade of the early 21st Century – a time when baroque performance practice is finding that all influences are valid, including contemporary ones. I think ultimately, “Metamorphosis” represents the freedom, the invitation we all have, to change, to transform, in our lives.’
