The sounds he produces, born of a deep understanding of the string instrument’s capabilities, are both vigorous and alluring; while at times imbued with an exotic flair, they never lose their classical refinement, captivating listeners across a wide spectrum. Sollima, who is establishing a unique presence as a 21st-century musician with a passionate interest in Baroque instruments, has now teamed up with Chiara Zanigi—a Baroque violinist who has made a brilliant name for herself in leading Italian early-music ensembles such as Il Giardino Armonico and La Divina Armonia—and together they present a thrilling album for violin and cello that spans the Baroque, Classical, and modern eras.\n\nThe album title, “The Lady from the Sea,” refers to the ocean-going vessel they themselves are aboard: the Lady Lauren. Born from their shared program of life aboard the ship with people facing various circumstances, this album features a carefully curated selection that includes not only works based on new techniques characteristic of the late Baroque period—where the cello alone supports the bass line without the accompaniment of a harpsichord or other instruments—but also pieces by the Classical composer Breval, the renowned modern Russian master Glier, and new works by Sollima himself. When performing 18th-century works, they switch bowing techniques and employ period performance practices suited to the style of each piece, allowing listeners to fully savor the unique musical beauty of this somewhat unusual duo configuration. This is a form of chamber music unique to the 21st century, where period performance practice is now taken for granted—a must-hear showcase of the cutting edge of European music.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53414265159969,"sku":"4589538751005","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538751005.jpg?v=1788096430","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538751005","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
