This extraordinary CD takes us back to the origins of the cello and to the instrument's early repertoire. The violoncello, gradually found its place in Europe in the course of the 18th century by supplanting the viol, before becoming a magnificent tenor in the 19th century, comprising a multitude of sounds, all of which stemmed from the abundance and variety of bowed instruments of their 16th-17th century predecessors.Thus, Bruno Cocset invites you to discover these many instruments and timbres through the music of Giovanni Battista Vitali, Giovanni Battista Degli Antoni and Domenico Gabrielli, then of Giuseppe Jacchini, whose works look firmly towards the Enlightenment. This recording provides an opportunity to explore a wealth of sound and feeling,while revealing music that is amazingly refreshing.
