Fiorentini, Luca

94368

This CD features for the first time on CD the celebrated cello built by Antonio Stradivari, the “Staufer- ex Cristiani” instrument, of enormous power and sonority. Born into a family where music-making lay at the heart of domestic life, Felix Mendelssohn was from an early age exposed to a broad range of composers and styles. First introduced to the cello by his brother, Paul, the young prodigy went on to write a number of charming works for the instrument together with piano accompaniment; this engaging CD details all such compositions, with the music brought to life through Luca Fiorentini’s intuitive performances on the stunning ‘Stauffer – ex Cristiani’ Stradivari cello.

Works:
• Mendelssohn: Cello Sonata No. 1 in B flat major, Op. 45
• Mendelssohn: Cello Sonata No. 2 in D major, Op. 58
• Mendelssohn: Song without Words for Cello & Piano, Op. 109
• Mendelssohn: Variations concertantes Op. 17
