Description

Italian Concertos with Violoncello Piccolo

Elinor Frey, violoncello piccolo solo
Rosa Barocca conducted by Claude Lapalme

As the name implies, the violoncello piccolo is a smaller version of the cello, usually with five strings or an even-smaller four-string version. Through concertos by Vivaldi, Leo, Sammartini, and Tartini, the ensemble explores the unique and captivating sound world of the violoncello piccolo during a time when composers wrote both “galant” melodies while still enjoying rich harmonies and expressive counterpoint.

Performers: Elinor Frey, Claude Lapalme, Rosa Barocca

Violin 1: Paul Luchkow, Naomi Delafield, Sarah Bleile
Violin 2: Lise Boutin, Louise Stuppard, Andrea Neumann
Viola: Dean O’Brien, Ronelle Schaufele
Continuo cello: Janet Kuschak
Contrabass: Shanti Nachtergaele
Harpsichord: Mélisande McNabney
Portative Organ: Wendy Markosky
