Description:

The supreme Italian Baroque, brilliant cello musicAntonio Vandini was one of the most important cellists and composers of the 18th century. His six remaining sonatas and one concerto were all written for the cello. Here is a combination of eye-opening lyricism and technical virtuosity that rivals string virtuosos such as Vivaldi and Tartini. Vandini is also said to be the cellist who continued to use the "underhand bow" technique, which he played like a gamba, until the end of his career, as can be seen from the jacket picture. In this album, Elanor Frey, who was fascinated by Vandini's music, plays with the same technique, bringing back to life cello music that was probably the most brilliant of its time.
