About

Agnieszka Oszanca presents the world premiere recording of the first volume of Salvatore Lanzetti’s Sonatas for Violincello and Basso Continuo, Opus 1. This work was composed in 1736 and displays the composer’s great imagination and full command of his instrument. Polish cellist Agnieszka Oszanca plays on a Baroque cello and is accompanied by a rich continuo, composed of a cello, a theorbo and a harpsichord.

The protagonist of this recording, Salvatore Lanzetti, an Italian cellist and composer, was born in Naples around 1710. He studied cello and composition in his hometown. There is evidence to suggest that between 1730 and 1754, Lanzetti spent a substantial amount of time in London, where, according to Charles Burney, he helped to popularize his instrument and establish its newly acquired solo statusamongst the English music lovers. In 1736 in Amsterdam, our 12 Sonate a Violoncello Solo e Basso Continuo were published as his Opus 1, dedicated to Federico di Brunswick (Frederick, Prince of Wales). His fame as one of the first true cello virtuosi and that of a composer prone to the technical innovations of the instrument was recognized by M. Corrette in his Methode, theorique et pratique pour apprendre en peu de tems le violoncelle dans sa perfection (Paris 1741), where he refers precisely to the Sonatas op. 1.

The beauty of the Opus 1, the subject of this recording, lays in their incredible versatility, not only in terms of technical complexity, but also character and the mixture of the French and Italian style which was popular at the time. The extensive use of double stops, shifting, explorations of the entire fingerboard, thumb position and employment of complex bowing techniques, that were until this time the reserve of violin technique, testify to Lanzetti’s extraordinary command of his instrument and fearless imagination.

Agnieszka Oszanca studied historical cellos with Viola de Hoog at Utrecht Conservatory. She performs regularly with European orchestras and chamber music ensembles, in the most important concert venues and at Early Music festivals. Agnieszka has recorded for Decca, Sony, Glossa, Alpha, Pan Classics and Globe Records.

Reviews

March/April 2020

Cellist Oszanca had a dark and rich tone, but what is most impressive is her ability to make even the growly bits of these works clear and unambiguous. Her playing has a knack for good interpretation, and the continuo group, is often well in the background, save that the second cello of Maia Misiarz engages in some lovely duets, making the duo bass instruments sing together in a nice harmony.
