Biography
L’ARMONIA DELLE CETRE
The ensemble’s name is closely related to the repertoire of this recording. “L’armonia delle Cetre” is in fact a sentence excerpted from a writing by Albinoni himself.
Dedicating his opus 9 to a nobleman, he praises his custom to take refuge in the “harmony of the citharas” after his military and political enterprises, and begs him to accept the humble fruit of his genius.
The ensemble “L’armonia delle Cetre" was created with the aim of bringing to light, in compliance with historically informed performance practice, some lesser known pages in the baroque repertoire of the “sonata a tre”. Despite being a recently formed ensemble, all of its members have practised this musical genre for years; in particular the two violinists have been playing together for over fifteen years.
