Very well played for the most part, if not always engaging. These pieces require stamina to play, and stamina to listen to at times.

Il Violoncello di Corelli: Works by Boni, Colombi, Gabrielli, Lulier & Vitali
Alessandro Palmeri
Qobuz 24/44.1




First listen.
Good album.
I still prefer the interpretation of Bruno Cocset for these early cello works though.

"Il violoncello di Corelli" leads us to the origins of the solo cello literature – although one should actually use the term violone. In fact, the cello, as we know it today in its standard form, had many different sizes before its current proportions became generally established. Some instruments were larger, and the smaller ones were referred to by the diminutive form of the term violone – hence the word violoncello. And one of these early ‘bigger brothers’ is the main protagonist of this recording: the instrument played by Alessandro Palmeri was built by Simone Cimapane in Rome in 1685. It is a rare testimony to the original size of the violone. It is furthermore a unique instrument because it was used in ensembles in Rome in which Corelli himself played.

Alessandro Palmeri presents a compilation of works from the early solo literature for cello by composers such as Domenico Gabrielli, Giuseppe Pietro Gaetano Boni, Giuseppe Colombi and Giovanni Battista Vitali. The extraordinarily prolific period, both artistically and musically, which prevailed in Emilia Romagna throughout the 17th century, provided the conditions for the creation and development of the cello literature.
The works on this recording mark the transition from the epoch of the violone to the epoch of the violoncello. With them, the cello was ultimately freed from the continuo role to which it had previously been limited. © Passacaille

Mostly Haydn but with some Scottish folk music mixed in - which may seem a little odd, but it works well and is quite entertaining. Excellent playing and sound.



Enjoying this again.

Mozart; la Clemenza di Tito. Silly libretto, but some fine music and singing. I'll put his big boys on either on my birthday or post Lent.

Well played French baroque.
Ideal for late night listening.

Barricades without borders and without mysteries for this album celebrating just the pleasure of playing together and sealing the friendship of two musicians whose nature and repertoire of their respective instruments are little suited to be played together. Iconoclastic, even insolent, the two young men proclaim themselves "freebooters of joy" on an album far removed from routine and boredom.
Jean Rondeau at the harpsichord and his partner Thomas Dunford at the archlute offer a stroll through a program of 17th and 18th century French music almost exclusively composed of... rondeaux (!) by Couperin, Visée, Lambert, Marin Marais and Rameau, in original arrangements for both instruments, to which Myriam Rignol's viola da gamba and the voices of Lea Desandre and Marc Mauillon sometimes respond. © François Hudry/Qobuz


This is a highly enjoyable album.

Listening for the second time to this nice new release:

Chausson - Prokofiev - Rautavaara - PARIS
Hillary Hahn
Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, Mikko Franck
Qobuz 24/48




Composers from different centuries, but it all fits nicely together.
The two Rautavaara pieces were written for Hahn.
