Description:

Bach's cantatas with piccolo cello skillfully performed by Ofelie Gaillard, and the pellucid voices of singers such as Piau! Bach's cantatas are works full of diversity, especially the skillful use of instruments and the depth of the music's bosom. The piccolo cello, which appeared briefly in the early 18th century, is a five-stringed cello smaller than a regular cello and has one high register string. The piccolo cello is a five-stringed cello that is smaller than a regular cello and has one high register string. It is capable of fast, light, and delicate movements. In nine of his cantatas, Bach explicitly mentions the use of the piccolo cello for expressive purposes. Here we hear an ensemble led by French cellist Oféry Gaillard and featuring Pulcinella, Sandrine Piau, and a splendid ensemble of singers. Gaillard plays the piccolo cello with grace and delicacy.The album is also full of highlights such as Piau's clear and elongated voice, Christophe Dumaux's hard and sharp voice, and Emiliano Gonzalez-Toro's robust singing with a free command of his vocal colors.
