Скачать или смотреть I Mastricelli perform Rocco Greco: Sinfonia No. 24 “a due viole”

This Sinfonia by the late 17th-century composer Rocco Greco comes from a Neapolitan collection written for bass violin and cello, a repertoire linked to the rise of the first great cello virtuosi. Preserved in a manuscript discovered by musicologist Guido Olivieri, this music opens a window into a fascinating Baroque sound world. Through lively exchanges between the low strings and the harpsichord, this forgotten musical language is brought back to life—where virtuosity, counterpoint, and improvisation meet. The result is an engaging journey into the roots of the Neapolitan cello tradition and its influence beyond Italy.
