Info for The Lady from the Sea: Duos for Violin and Cello from Vivaldi to Sollima

After calling it ‘a wonderful album in all respects’, the magazine Diapason concluded its review of Suite Case. Violin Duos from Vivaldi to Sollima (A448) with the question, ‘When can we look forward to the second volume?’ In this new project, the violin of Stefano Barneschi gives way to the cello of Giovanni Sollima, the multi-talented musician from Palermo featured here not only as a composer. On this new journey, again beginning with Antonio Vivaldi, Giovanni Sollima and Chiara Zanisi travel between early and modern music, between classical and folk (the Old Scots Tunes of Francesco Barsanti), with two previously unrecorded gems by the Roman composer Giovanni Battista Costanzi. The entire recording is punctuated by tracks taken from Suite Case, a cycle composed especially by Sollima for this project. ‘Travel has always been a recurring theme in my life, but the journey with Chiara is different, and new for me. The music passes through time and space with a violin that is noble, intense, richly colourful, united with a full, nostalgic, ancestral cello – a magic bubble of strength, fragility, intensity and wonder. A full moon, gravid and protective, looked down on our recording from above, while incredible music took us by surprise.’ (Giovanni Sollima)
