Nicola Porpora (1686-1768) was one of the most important and successful
composers of the Neapolitan School in Italy. His fame was widespread as
he worked in the European capitals London, Dresden and Vienna, where
his works were successfully staged.

Porpora was also a singer and teacher, which explains the strong vocal
quality of his instrumental works. The 6 Cello Sonatas recorded on this CD
try to emulate the ?vox humana?, expressing the human emotions
through instrumental virtuosity and phrasing.

The manuscript of the 6 Cello Sonatas lists Porpora and Constanzi as
composers, but very probably the works were written by Porpora alone.

Beautiful performances by Adriano Fazio, cello and an instrumental
continuo ensemble featuring violin, cello, theorbo and harpsichord.

Katarzyna Solecka violin
Anna Camporini cello
