Finely crafted and accessible, Ermenegildo Del Cinque’s music surely deserves to be more widely known; these performances present it is the best possible light. The playing is cohesive and fluid, and the players deploy a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and other effects tastefully…worth a listen for both the music and the performances.

DEL CINQUE Sonatas for 3 Cellos • Ludovico Minasi, Cristina Vidoni, Teodoro Baù (vc); Simone Vallerotonda (lt, gtr); Andrea Buccarella (hpd) (period instruments) • ARCANA 528 (63:08)

…Finely crafted and accessible, Ermenegildo Del Cinque’s music surely deserves to be more widely known; these performances present it is the best possible light. Treating the music with such a light, nuanced touch, the players let it speak for itself. In doing so, though, they also distinguish themselves. The playing is cohesive and fluid, and the players deploy a kaleidoscope of colors, textures, and other effects tastefully. They adjust the ensemble balance constantly, choosing carefully which voices to bring into the foreground at any given moment. This is worth a listen for both the music and the performances. James V. Maiello
