This CD presents an intimate and focused journey into Johann Sebastian Bach's cello suites, arranged and interpreted here by Alberto Crugnola for the so-called "Prinzessinnen-Suiten" BWV 1007, 1008 and 1010. The recording centers on three of Bach's most beloved solo suites, whose noble character, songful lines and dance-inspired movements have fascinated generations of listeners. Crugnola's playing emphasizes the singing quality of the instrument, the clear architecture of Bach's polyphony and the subtle rhythmic life of each dance, resulting in a reading that is both historically aware and emotionally direct. The sound production gives the instrument a warm, detailed presence, allowing the natural resonance of each movement--from the meditative preludes to the lively gigues--to unfold.
Alberto Crugnola is a classical musician with a particular affinity for Baroque repertoire, bringing together technical refinement and a deep sense for stylistic nuance. In his work with Bach's music, he focuses on transparency of texture, expressive but never exaggerated phrasing, and a thoughtful balance between virtuosity and contemplation. His interpretations aim to reveal the internal logic and spiritual dimension of these works, making them accessible both to seasoned connoisseurs of early music and to listeners discovering the suites for the first time.
The label Nova Antiqua is dedicated to classical and early music, with a particular emphasis on historically informed interpretations and carefully curated programs. Releases on Nova Antiqua are characterized by close collaboration with specialized artists, a high production standard in recording and mastering, and booklets that aim to provide context without overwhelming the listener. With this album, Nova Antiqua once again underlines its commitment to repertoire that combines artistic depth with long-term listening value, presenting Bach's suites in a clear, unpretentious and acoustically natural setting that invites repeated listening.
