Adagio

Erin Lupardus and Julia Willeitner

Another of Handel’s cellists, Giacobbe Cervetto was a member of the prolific Royal Society of Musicians in London and performed in numerous concerts as a chamber and orchestra musician, even in a private house concert for Charles Burney himself. Of Cervetto’s playing in comparison to Caporale’s Burney wrote:

“PASQUALINO and the elder CERVETTO, the rivals of Caporale at this time, had infinitely more hand, and knowledge of the finger-board, as well as of Music in general; but the tone of both was raw, crude, and uninteresting.”

Nevertheless, Frederick, Prince of Wales, clearly enjoyed his music, and he arranged a benefit concert for Cervetto in 1743 and was a very prominent figure on his list of subscribers. May the first movement of Divertimento No. 1 also serve in defiance of Burney’s denunciation.
