Armoniosa - Platti: 6 Trio Sonatas For Violin, Violoncello And Continuo

Following on from their debut recording of Vivaldi�s La Stravaganza, Italian ensemble, Armoniosa present here a new recording of Giovanni Benedetto Platti's Trio Sonatas.However, although the title may read 'Trio Sonata', a spectacular surprise soon unfolds: contrary to all convention, Platti scored the part of the second solo instrument in hissonatas for the cello instead of a second violin �thereby providing for an extraordinary and freshlistening experience.The high-resolution recording on this SACD enables the listener to grasp all the tonal details; the music seems to be within hand�s reach, especially in the recommended three-dimensional reproduction of the 2+2+2 recording. The man who commissioned these works, Count Sch�nborn-Wiesentheid, the brother of two W�rzburg archbishops, was a cellist in his own right and surely would have enjoyed this disc.Also available:Antonio Vivaldi: La Stravaganza op. 4MDG9011885
