[@pedroa.cantero9449]

Cuántas veces estas sonatas amansaron mis propios furores y me recondujeron a la reconciliación entre alma y razón… A finales de los ’90, en Galaroza, las escuchaba de largo en compañía de algunas avecillas que atraídas por la melodía parecían subyugadas por tamaña mansedumbre. Júrala, mi vecino, solía preguntarme: “¿Qué es esa música que oyes a la tarde?, parecen ángeles". El arriero no andaba lejos de mi propio sentimiento, pues la melodía actuaba a modo de bálsamo sobre mi espíritu. Esta es mi deuda de entonces y mi esperanza de hoy. Dejar de ser mi peor enemigo. La cordura no es la soga que ata ni la cadena que amarra, más semeja al hilo de la cometa que sostiene y permite alzarse por los aires.

Claudio Cassadei is a wondrous musician with a rich and emotive touch. He is one of the best cellists playing today. Sad for us that he doesn't seem to have recorded a great deal.

[@mereyeslacalle]

Música inspirada por Dios, no puede ser de otra forma, escucharla trae paz al espíritu , que divinidad de Benedetto Marcello , siempre me ha fascinado este compositor y músico veneciano ; y la ejecución del brillante cellista Claudio Casadei acompañado en el clavicémbalo por Francesco Tasini es perfecta.

[@gerardbegni2806]

Forgetting Vivaldi,the most famous cello Italiano compositions were the Neapolitan concertos of Leonardo Leo and the sonatas by Geminiani. Other less important composers began to use solo cello as well. It is more or less a typical stylistic feature that such a use of cello developed in medium ans southern Italia. Here, the excellent composer Marcello, who was generally attracted by other styles of composition (his d minor oboe concerto is one of the best baroque oboe concertos). tuns to the cello with an equal quality Marcello makes a wise use of the technique named in French "dynamique en terrasse", typical of medium and late baroque, not at all in a pedantic but in a discrete and efficient way. This writing excellence" is for sure the signature of masterpieces. Add the high quality of the melodic cello part, with the fact that Italy, which was actually the leader in using the cello in playing the continuo part with an harpsichord,, evidences the quality of cello as a tenor instrumentalist singer both in sonata k like here or in concertos like Leo's. Clearly, the Italian baroque is not limited between Corelli and Vivaldi.This shows the flexibility of the last baroque and its ability for a complex situation between aunacois innovations and sophisticated conservatism. France has struggled for long for the viols masterpieces against the cello. . JSB kept cool, witting both his six suites for cello solo, his six three voices sonatas for viola and harpsichord, original string combinations in Brandenburg 3 and 6, choosing violas in many cantatas ans sections of the "Passions".for suite précise expressive reasons..

[@princevlad2397]

[@martinrosasvera]

A veces y a toda hora, el alma necesita algo que la transporte, que la lleve por lugares tal vez ya recorridos, pero que son diferentes cuando sientes esas vibraciones de las cuerdas y solo te dejas llevar. HOMBRE, MADERA Y ARCO. El viento en espera, de sentir lo que tu arco arrancará de la madera, que un día dejó de ser árbol, para ahora, llevar a cada oído, las palabras sin letras, pero llenas de emociones sentimientos y colorido. Antes, el viento movía sus ramas y sus hojas, y en el día y en la noche, cantaban. Madera que en su memoria, tiene los amaneceres y los atardeceres, llenos de voces de los habitantes del bosque. Voces de quienes llegan a la noche y de quienes ya no, tiene las noches de plata, tiene los ruidos de la tierra. Cada día y cada noche, cantos a la vida. Cantos a la vida, que tu arco hará brotar de la madera, llena de ellos. Tu arco deslizándose por las cuerdas, tu sensibilidad y los recuerdos de la madera, diálogo entre instrumento y hombre, lenguaje sin palabras. Música.

Yes. I have quite a bit published. My latest book is Victorian House: Ghosts and Gothic Poems. Half of the book is relevant to the Hudson Valley, NY region. You can buy it on Amazon.com. I work with a Theremin Player every October. We are called Theremin Ghosts! and give shows around the Hudson Valley. It is the most original performance ever in the region. Or, if you are in my area, and have a library card, it is in the Ramapo-Catskill Library System. My website is simple, but needs to be updated. www.robertmilby.com I host 4 poetry readings in the region. Frankly, I am pretty smitten by Baroque Music. I typically listen to Baroque in the Autumn. Nearly a Musical synesthesia. But only due to association of periods of Music with seasons of the year. On 7/17 st 5pm at the beautiful Pacem In Terris, 96 Covered Bridge Road Warwick, NY There is an All Baroque Concert. Here's another site you can check for more info pertaining to the show. www.frederickfranck.org The great artist's home and property whereon the concerts take place.

[@LaraineAnne]

It's nice to see so many people have listened to this. I've seen so many postings of music that isn't widely known and that have been virtually unvisited. In my search for cello sonatas that come close to Vivaldi (the cello sonatas are my favourite Vivaldi pieces) these are the ones most like his, though they still don't challenge Vivaldi himself. There is indeed only one "Red Priest". I do wish there were better performances of the music available, though. The only one I could find on CD was recorded in 1973 and is in the vein of the old pre "period performance" days, when all music was played the same regardless of when it was written. The performances here are better than the ones I found but they still suffer from a lack of knowledge of period performance. Where are all the baroque cellists? Why haven't they discovered these pieces? We need someone of the calibre of Christophe Coin.

[@MegaCirse]

Thank you Laraine for this beautiful and relevant commentary which changes us from "Wonderful" "Marvellous" and "Thanks for upload" which are as many invasive plants which devastate such musics.. Otherwise, in the liturgy, colors have a meaning. Red is the color of the fire of the Spirit, of passion and of courage. All that most clergymen lack¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@GuntherDebymusique]

Benedetto Giacomo Marcello, Né le 24 juillet 1686 à Venise Décédé le25 juillet 1739 à Brescia, Compositeur italien de la période barioque Biographie Issu d'une noble famille vénitienne (il est souvent qualifié dans ses œuvres dePatrizio Veneto) il était destiné par son père à une carrière de juriste, bien qu'il ait reçu des leçons de musique de maîtres aussi réputés que Lotti et Gasparini1. En 1711, il devient membre du Conseil des Quarante et en 1730, il est envoyé à Pola comme Provveditore. Sa santé s'étant détériorée au climat défavorable de l'Istrie, il démissionne au bout de huit ans et s'installe en tant que Camerlengo à Brescia, où il demeure jusqu'à sa mort. Benedetto Marcello est surtout connu pour son Estro poetico-armonico, publié à Venise en 1724-17262, qui est une mise en musique pour une à quatre voix et basse continue des cinquante paraphrases des Psaumes de David, dont les paroles avaient été adaptées en italien par Giacomo Giustiniani2. Cette œuvre fut très admirée, notamment par Charles Avison etJohn Garth, qui en firent une édition avec paroles en anglais (Londres 1757). On en trouve des extraits dans l'ouvrage deJohn Hawkins intitulé A General History of the Science and Practice of Music. Marcello fut l'un des premiers compositeurs à écrire pour le violoncelle et il a laissé une série de sonates d'une très grande qualité, qui rappellent les compositions de Domenico Gabrielli et de Vivaldi pour cet instrument. Son concerto pour violon a été transcrit pour le clavecin par Bach (BWV 981). Parmi ses autres œuvres, on trouve surtout des cantates à une ou plusieurs voix ; la bibliothèque du Conservatoire de Bruxelles possède plusieurs volumes de cantates de chambre composées pour sa maîtresse. Il composa aussi un opéra, La Fede riconosciuta, représenté à Vicenza en 1702, mais n'avait guère d'attirance pour ce genre de composition et exposa ses opinions sur l'état du drame en musique à son époque par un pamphlet satirique intitulé Teatro alla moda, paru à titre anonyme à Venise en 1720 et dont la cible principale était Antonio Vivaldi, sous le pseudonyme peu équivoque d'Aldiviva. Ce petit ouvrage, fréquemment réédité, n'est pas seulement extrêmement drôle, mais constitue aussi une contribution importante à l'histoire de l'opéra. On a donné son nom au conservatoire de musique de Venise. Le Musée national des instruments de musique de Rome possède un certain nombre d'instruments lui ayant appartenu. Le frère aîné de Benedetto, Alessandro, fut lui aussi compositeur. Sopurce Infos :.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benedetto_Giacomo_Marcello
