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.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42312642494539,"sku":"TUDO7602.2","price":42.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7223\/1499\/files\/3707740-2490920_1d1c84ea-0215-4f1c-8e5e-b240a9c19be1.jpg?v=1775748963","url":"https:\/\/rockbandmerch.com\/products\/vivaldi-starck-frey-9-cello-sonatas-music-cd-812973016021","provider":"Rock Band Merch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
