Description
This recording emerged from a quest to explore new rhetorical and poetic spaces, timbres, and dynamics, aiming to reveal the soul of J S Bach's splendid sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord. The cello piccolo, an instrument similar in size and texture to the viola da gamba, proves ideal for capturing the lyrical quality of some movements and the virtuosity of the more intricate and faster passages. The fortepiano, an English instrument beautifully restored, was chosen to emphasize the contrapuntal nature of the three trio sonatas, particularly in the continuous duetting of the right hand with the cello.
Federico Bracalente is a member of influential Italian chamber music ensembles, including the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova and the Orchestra d'Archi Italiana. In 2017 he founded the Cubis Project, a string quartet with whom he opened the Radiohead concert in the Sferisterio arena in Macerata.
