An Astonishing Interpretation Born of an Uncompromising Pursuit of Instrumental Artistry and Musicology]\nItalian virtuoso Mario Brunello, a student of the master Antonio Yanigro, began his career as a contemporary cellist after winning the Tchaikovsky International Competition. In recent years, he has deepened his understanding of historical performance practices and period instruments, establishing himself as a prominent period instrument performer with ensembles such as the Venice Baroque Orchestra (directed by Giuliano Carminola) and the Mozart Orchestra (directed by Claudio Abbado). He recorded Bach’s *Unaccompanied Cello Suites* in 2010, but the existence of the six pieces for violin—which he refers to as “the other Bach unaccompanied works”—had long been on his mind.\nDrawing on recent research by Bach scholars, Brunello used a small Amati-model cello—believed to correspond to a tenor violin (a four-stringed instrument, like a standard violin, but tuned one octave lower) and confronted these masterpieces for violin. As a result, he felt that “until then, I had only understood half of Bach,” and became so engrossed in the music that he went on to record the entire collection. The impact of this performance was so striking that Alessandro Baricco, the author of *The Pianist on the Ocean*, was amazed and contributed a commentary to the liner notes. With meticulous attention to detail—not only in the instrument, bow, and strings, but also in the music stand—Brunello’s recording presents a sonic world that offers a fresh perspective on the *Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin*.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525303132449,"sku":"4589538745783","price":4400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538745783.jpg?v=1789730734","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538745783","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
