Every time I listen to this.......... it is MORE impressive :) I grew up among concert cellists, and my father was one, too :) so.......... I have that sound "in me" Thank you
The performance is terrific. I like the space and seeing the instruments. The camera angles and editing showing their hands are so cool. I also like that they are in contemporary clothes, feels relatable.
Amazing and magnificent virtuosity! I think the simpler pre-classical (is this baroque?) tune structures allowed for more passionate expression such as this. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Once a choral teacher of mine said, in relation to a baroque piece, that it was when aesthetical and artistical norms and rules were more tight (such as in the baroque era) that composers showed their greater creativity and art - the obligation to perform and write in very tight spaces somehow created more innovation. A very interesting idea. Monteverdi is a great example of this.
This piece by Richardo Rognioni is an early Baroque work based on a famous late Renaissance 4-part madrigal by Cipriano di Rore. "Tune structures"? lol The piece is played on a standard 6-string bass viola da gamba. The term _viola bastarda_ refers to a style of composition and performance that reduces a polyphonic composition (in this case, a 4-part madrigal) to a single line, while maintaining the same range as the original, and adding divisions (melodic variations), improvisations and new counterpoint.
Hi there Johanna and Javier, have you recorded and this piece and CF Abel’s Arpeggio? If you did I would love to get it, if you didn’t please consider doing it you are both amazing artists Love your album with the CPE Bach sonatas😊
I think the viola bastarda ranges a full octave above the highest fret. That's the highest I've ever heard. It should be a5 at whatever pitch level you're using, right?
Sounds like they're playing in A@a415 (Kammerton). The viol in the recording is a standard 6-string bass viola da gamba. A viol of the period of this composition (Early Baroque) would have been tuned a whole step higher (Chorton).
