Dietmar Berger - Sanguinazzo: Dilettante Di Violoncello

Cellist Dietmar Berger plays the Book of Exercises: 36 Recercari for solo cello by Nicolo Sanguinazzo.

We do not know much about Nicolo Sanguinazzo, but it has been assumed he was active between 1690- 1720 and he was close to Antonio Caldara. On his autographed manuscripts he refers to himself as Olocin Ozzaniugnas, that is his name spelled back to front, a Diletante di Violoncello. His Book of Exercises represents the great opportunity to go through the meticulous technique of the subtle, graceful and cheerful Parlando-manner.

Dietmar Berger is a German musician and painter. The Cologne-based cellist and gambist is a member of the Delos Trio Koln (with Gudrun Hobold, violin and Hubert Kappel, guitar).
