Sonatas for Violoncello and Basso Continuo

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Francesco Geminiani & Roel Dieltiens

Sonatas for Violoncello and Basso Continuo is a collection of sonatas by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published circa 1720. These Baroque chamber works feature idiomatic, often virtuosic cello lines supported by basso continuo, employing lyrical slow movements, lively allegros and contrapuntal textures that reflect Vivaldi's contribution to the development of the solo string repertoire in the early 18th century.
First released: 1991
