Sonatas for cello und basso continuo

An eloquent interpreter of Vivaldi, Jean-Guihen Queyras has already recorded several cello concertos by this composer – an album acclaimed by critics and music lovers alike. His latest homage to the Venetian master features an inspired selection of cello sonatas also written in his brilliant concertante style. ‘Pisendel once submitted an attempt at a concerto to his teacher. Vivaldi immediately divested it of half its notes: one must know how to leave enough space for the miracle to filter through.’ (Olivier Fourés)
