{"product_id":"vivaldi-starck-frey-9-cello-sonatas-music-cd-812973016021","title":"Vivaldi \/ Starck \/ Frey - 9 Cello Sonatas - Music CD","description":"The general perception of Vivaldi- who wrote more than 500 concertos- is still that of a serene composer of the Italian Baroque, a great Perpetuum mobile- possibly even an endless Rondo Veneziano. And yet for connoisseurs, the \"Prete rosso\" left a unique, almost inconceivable output within which we can soon lose our bearings. Travelling in this musical paradise drove even a genius like Igor Stravinsky to his oft-quoted quip: \"he wrote one concerto 400 times.\" The chamber music, which has never met with the recognition it deserves, is even trickier. The cello sonatas are a particularly striking case in point. Superficially they all follow the same pattern-four movements in the same order (Largo-Allegro-Largo-Allegro), almost like the first minimal music. Yet each of the nine sonatas is an individual masterpiece. Here Vivaldi proves himself the composer of a virtuosic yet spiritualized music, whose wealth of melodies and deep earnestness are as beguiling as their elegant and dignified beauty, which blends vitality with poetry.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49212560834802,"sku":"TUDO7602.2","price":38.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3707740-2490920.jpg?v=1778901205","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/vivaldi-starck-frey-9-cello-sonatas-music-cd-812973016021","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
