"In addition to being one of the most compelling, deepest, most reflective recordings I have heard in recent times, that of Matteo Cicchitti represents an unavoidable episode to understand the importance, significance, scope and caliber represented by the viola from leg over the course of two centuries. A result obtained by an interpreter who is to be considered among the greatest lovers of this instrument at an international level."

About the album

The absolute protagonist of this recording is the solo viola da gamba which guides us on a musical journey from 1553 (Tratado de glosas by Diego Ortiz) to 1698/99 (Ricercare per diversi toni by Angelo Michele Bertalotti and The Complete Violist by Benjamin Hely). In so doing, it puts us in touch with a repertoire that may not be universally known, but still deserves to be discovered. Above all, it must be disclosed because it gives tangible testimonies that partially rectify some deep-rooted convictions about the viola da gamba. In fact, contrary to what is often believed, after blossoming in the Renaissance, this instrument did not leave the stage ex abrupto in the mid-17th century, crushed beneath the increasing weight of the cello. Instead, it continued to enjoy its own literature, certainly less striking but not less relevant. We are referring not only to the better-documented compositions for consort, but also to the solo repertoire which frequently had didactic and artistic value - often characterized by chamber allure due to its reserved nature.
Der absolute Protagonist dieser Aufnahme ist die Solo-Gambe, die uns auf eine musikalische Reise von 1553 (Tratado de glosas von Diego Ortiz) bis 1698/99 (Ricercare per diversi toni von Angelo Michele Bertalotti und The Complete Violist von Benjamin Hely) führt. Auf diese Weise bringt sie uns mit einem Repertoire in Berührung, das zwar nicht allgemein bekannt ist, aber dennoch entdeckt werden sollte. Vor allem muss es bekannt gemacht werden, weil es greifbare Zeugnisse gibt, die einige tief verwurzelte Überzeugungen über die Viola da Gamba teilweise korrigieren. Tatsächlich hat dieses Instrument, anders als oft angenommen, nach seiner Blütezeit in der Renaissance nicht ex abrupto in der Mitte des 17. Vielmehr hat es weiterhin seine eigene Literatur, die zwar weniger auffällig, aber nicht weniger relevant ist. Wir beziehen uns nicht nur auf die besser dokumentierten Kompositionen für Consort, sondern auch auf das Solorepertoire, das häufig einen didaktischen und künstlerischen Wert hatte - oft gekennzeichnet durch kammermusikalische Anziehungskraft aufgrund seiner Zurückhaltung.
