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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tudor","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ 9 Cello Sonatas Tudor","offer_id":47260497084724,"sku":"TUDO7602.2","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/3707740-2490920.jpg?v=1784766547","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/vivaldi-starck-frey-9-cello-sonatas_aec-tudo7602-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
