Description:
Sonata "La Caprara" (op. 35, no. 10) by Maurizio Cazzati fully embodies the elegance and clarity of the Italian Baroque style of the 17th century. This sonata demonstrates the composer's fine melodic flair as well as his sense of rhythmic contrasts and expressive dialog. The work captivates with its balanced writing, which combines measured virtuosity and a radiant lyrical character - characteristic of Cazzati's instrumental work. In this arrangement, Colette Mourey offers a modern, carefully structured reading that nevertheless remains true to the original spirit of the work. Her approach emphasizes the contrapuntal lines and strengthens the formal coherence of the composition. The result is an accessible, flowing and respectful adaptation that opens up new tonal perspectives. This version allows us to rediscover a piece of the Baroque repertoire that has been unjustly neglected and reveals the full subtlety and liveliness of this timeless "Caprara".
