Sebastian Hess and Axel Wolf are two extremely versatile artists who present these wonderful rarities by the Italian baroque composer Giovanni Benedetto Platti. There are two volumes of twelve sonatas for cello which Platti wrote for Rudolf Franz Erwein von Schömborn in Wiesentheid, and these are the first six.

“The six sonatas on this recording are a real rarity...They are given here by Sebastian Hess in elegant and beautifully shaped performances which range from steely curiousity in the fast passagework to warm-toned lyricism in the slow movements. Fine advocacy for some hidden gems.”
I. Adagio
