Huffington Post: Haiku Review: Matteo: 300 Years Of An Italian Cello

· by · in Album Review, PRESS. ·

From Matt Haimovitz’s cello, made by Matteo Gofriller in Venice (Italy) many centuries ago, comes a curious and very appealing solo cello recital that comes with Haimovitz attached. The CD is called “Matteo,” and also comes attached with lots of semi-precious liner notes and a wonderful spectrum of music. Slices of Domenico Gabrielli interleave with 20th and 21st century music by Dallapiccola, Scelsi, Sciarrino and the Canadian Brian Cherney. The modern music is a stretch but confirms the breathtaking immediacy beauty of the remote Venetian (Italy).
