Inzaffirio : Vito Paternoster

Vito Paternoster : Inzaffirio.
Cellist extraordinaire.

Oh how we love the echoing, haunting beauty of Italian cellist Vito Paternoster's Inzaffirio, a distillation of the preludes from Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suites. Following each prelude is an arrangement for solo cello, voice, and string orchestra. Soprano Patrizia Pace's voice is both pristine and incredibly powerful, and its straightforward purity nicely counterbalances the detail and complexity of the arrangements. An imaginative and deeply gorgeous album.
