Claudio Ronco; Emanuela Vozza - Cello Viruosi in France 1730-1790 - Sonatas and Duos for Two Cellos

The twelfth title in Urania's series entirely dedicated to the solo cello in the Eighteenth century, combined with the precedents of the sonatas by Lanzetti, Janson, Duport and Spourni. This collection investigates the fascinating path of the Neapolitan cello school in France and, in parallel, the developments of the musical styles towards the birth of new European music in Classicism. From the bewitching, hypnotic atmospheres of the French Arias to the lively theatricality of the Italian musical imagination, throughout the sixty years preceding the Revolution the cello was certainly one of the most authentic protagonists.
