Il Progetto Vivaldi 2

"Gabetta has a ravishing tone, especially in Vivaldi's soulful slow movements. The vigorous cello pyrotechnics of the finale of the G minor, RV 416 are negotiated with bravado to spare, and the febrile edginess of the A minor's end encourages sly banter." (BBC Music)

"The cello-playing Count von Schonborn provides the connecting theme for Sol Gabetta's disc; his library contains some significant Vivaldi manuscripts, including the sole source of the sonata recorded here...With its finely worked contrapuntal tuttis and picturesque, melancholy Adagio, [Platti's] Concerto, in this vigorous, poised performance, proves to be a real find." (Gramophone)

"Gabetta again plays with unerring precision, but also with a sure-footed interpretative authority...As before, it is the fertility of imagination undergirding every one of Gabetta's performances which marks this colelction out as being something exceptional...Highly recommended." (International Record Review)
