About

The most unusual, and in some respects most interesting, works by Vinaccesi to have survived are his six Suonate da camera tre, Op.1. They are among the very first published chamber sonatas to comprise not one movement but an integrated cycle of several movements. Their originality apart, these sonatas deserve to be championed for a quality perhaps unexpected from a composer so young: their high level of motivic coherence.

All the cantatas recorded here make an excellent introduction to Vinaccesi’s music. They display some of the most attractive features of the composer’s musical style, which include the sudden burst of florid writing that seems to arrive from nowhere, the finely wrought cavatas (a cavata is a setting of a section of recitative verse in a more elaborate, aria like manner) and the attractive, always thematically relevant, instrumental ritornellos.
