About

Awards and reviews

November 2013

Throughout, the playing of the Kolner Akademie is admirably light and airy. Occasionally I felt that a gentler, more spacious approach would have given greater emphasis to the music's cantabile qualities...A fascinating issue nonetheless.

24th September 2013

There are surprisingly few recordings of cello concertos from this period that are not by Vivaldi, especially of whole cycles like this one. That is an extra credit for this CD - the fine performances and Zani's own elegant, creative musicianship are grounds enough for procurement.
