Vivaldi: Cello Sonatas - Roel Dieltens

Roel Dieltiens (cello)

Ensemble Explorations

Vivaldi was attracted to the cello for its expressive capabilities, which are showcased perfectly on Ensemble Explorations's debut disc on the Etcetera label.

"If you've tended to consider Vivaldi's cello sonatas less interesting than most of his music, then these performances may persuade you to think again...By refusing to accept routine attitudes to articulation and ornamentation, Dieltiens compels us to listen anew to typical baroque turns of phrase...Everywhere, the level of artistry is extremely high."
