Info zu Costanzi: Sinfonie per violoncello

Giovanni Sollima hat bereits ein Album mit Werken von Cellosonaten von Giovanni Battista Costanzi eingespielt, und nun stellt er mit einem weiteren Album unter Beweis, wie lohnend die Beschäftigung mit diesem aufregenden, aber sträflich vernachlässigten Komponisten aus der nebulösen Epoche zwischen dem Barock und der Klassik ist. Auf dieser neuen Glossa-Aufnahme mit Sinfonie per violoncello zeigt Sollima abermals, wie fantasievoll Costanzi mit Melo- dien und Harmonien umgeht. Außerdem meistert er die technischen Anforderungen dieser Werke, die ganz offensichtlich für einen Cellovirtuosen entstanden sind, mit Bravour.

Giovanni Sollima hat gemeinsam mit dem Arianna Art Ensemble fünf Sinfonien für Violoncello und Continuo eingespielt und diese um eine Sonate für zwei Violoncelli ergänzt, die er mit Monika Leskovar aufgenommen hat. In einigen dieser Sinfonien ist der von Corelli bevorzugte viersätzige Aufbau der sonata da chiesa noch präsent, aber die Sinfonien sind durch eine größere Offenheit für den galanten Stil und für Einflüsse aus Europa und aus ganz Italien gekennzeichnet – obwohl Costanzi die Ewige Stadt wohl nie verlassen hat. (Er unterrichtete wahrscheinlich den jungen Boccherini, der die beachtliche Entfernung von Lucca nach Rom zurücklegte, um bei „Giovannino del Violoncello“ Unterricht zu nehmen.)

Sollima ist selbst ein komponierender Cellist, und so steuert er ein neues Werk zu dieser CD bei, The Hunting Sonata, das sich zunächst auf Costanzis Sonate für zwei Celli „ad uso di corni da caccia“ bezieht.

Giovanni Sollima
is a true virtuoso of the cello, playing for him is not an end in itself, but a means of communicating with the world.

He is a composer out of the ordinary, he communicates with a music full of mediterranean rhythms, with a melodic vein typically Italian, his world covers all eras "from the Jurassic of the Cello" as he calls the baroque period to the "Metal". He writes mainly for the cello and contributes significantly to the creation of new repertoire for his instrument. His audience is diverse; from classical music lovers to young "metalheads" Giovanni Sollima conquers all.

Sollima was born in Palermo into a family of musicians. He studied cello with Giovanni Perriera and Antonio Janigro and composition with his father and Eliodoro Sollima and Milko Kelemen. From an early age he worked with musicians such as Claudio Abbado, Giuseppe Sinopoli, Jörg Demus, Martha Argerich, Riccardo Muti, Yuri Bashmet, Katia and Marielle Labèque, Ruggero Raimondi, Bruno Canino, DJ Scanner, Victoria Mullova, Patti Smith, Philip Glass and Yo-Yo Ma.

His works as a soloist with orchestra and various ensembles (including the Giovanni Sollima Band, which he founded in New York in 1997) - unfolds between official and alternative locations: Brooklyn Academy of Music, Alice Tully Hall , Knitting Factory and Carnegie Hall (New York), Wigmore Hall and Queen Elizabeth Hall (London), Salle Gaveau (Paris), Santa Cecilia, RomaEuropaFestival (Roma), Teatro San Carlo (Naples), Kunstfest (Weimar), Kronberg Cello Festival , Time Zones Festival (Bari), Teatro Massimo, Teatro alla Scala (Milan), International Music Festival in Istanbul, Cello Biennale (Amsterdam), Tokyo Summer Festival, the Venice Biennale, Ravenna Festival, "The Sounds of the Dolomites", Ravello Festival, Expo 2010 (Shanghai), Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Liverpool Philharmonic ...

In Parallel to the cello his curiosity led him to explore new frontiers in the field of composition through contamination between different genres making use also of oriental instruments, electrical and many of his invention.?He also collaborated with other artists such as, for dance, Karole Armitage, and Carolyn Carlson, for the theater with Bob Wilson, Alessandro Baricco, and Peter Stein and cinema with Marco Tullio Giordana, Peter Greenaway, Lasse Gjertsen (DayDream, 2007), and John Turturro.

Together with cellist and composer Enrico Melozzi he promoted the project 100 VIOLONCELLI created at the Teatro Valle Occupied in Rome. Musicians from all age, formation, got together for 3 days and 3 nights of cello music, from baroque going through rock music to contemporary music written "during the concerts" there were no limits. The project was repeated in 2013 and in 2014 from May 23-25th will take place in Milan at the Teatro delle Arti. There will be the 3rd edition of the composition contest and the first edition of a "libretto" contest.
