6 Sonatas a Quattro

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
These early works (Rossini was 12!) were only discovered and published in the 1950s, with the composer’s own note from years later attached, calling them "horrendous" works that were first performed by "dogs." Actually, they are pieces of stupefying skill and attractiveness considering the age of the composer and his lack of training. I Virtuosi Italiani have been performing successfully in important cities in Italy and abroad for years, also with soloists and conductors of international rank.

5 out of 5 stars Beyond the Overtures.......2004-11-20

If you think all there is to Rossini is Overtures, then you are in for a treat with this Double Decca title. Collected on this two-disc set are Rossini's 6 String Sonatas, lovely three movement works written in the composer's youth and only rediscovered after WWII. They are not the most complex of works, but are thoroughly enjoyable nonetheless. Neville Marriner leads the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields in these analog recordings from the mid-1960s, which also include works by Donizetti, Bellini and Cherubini. There is a competing Philips Duo title of the String Sonatas, but I opted for this one because one of my favorite recordings of Rossini's Overtures is also by Sir Neville (recently reissued in UNI's "Trio" series). Marriner once again shows that he is more than just Mozart.

4 out of 5 stars A Little Rough on the Bass Part.......2006-05-10

I enjoy these 6 "quartets" very much. The only thing that really jolts out at me is how Chi-chi Nwanoku plays the bass part on this. While the violin, viola, and cello seem to blend together so lovely, the bass part just sticks out as rugged sounding and a completely different style than the other three performers. It just feels so anti-Rossini to me. However, since there are only a few spots for bass solos, this does not happen to often and the rest of the time it is pure bliss and a warm lush of sound from the ensemble.

      This volume is better than satisfactory, as it carries the impetus of the music. However, it is not as vibrant and full of color as Herbert Von Karijans production for LPs in the 1970s.
