About
Bruno Cocset pays tribute to one of the precursors of the Golden Age of the cello by recording five sonatas (no.5 in G major, no.2 in C minor, no.1 in F major, no.13 in A major, no.12 in B flat major), based on the manuscripts of the extensive Noseda Collection of the Milan Conservatory. He is accompanied by his partners from Les Basses Réunies, Maude Gratton (fortepiano), Bertrand Cuiller (harpsichord), Emmanuel Jacques (cello continuo) and Richard Myron (double bass).

This is all fantastically thoughtful ‘authentic’ ear candy for those who like a bit of spice in their HIP, and Cocset himself is the icing on the cake. Playing an instrument specially constructed by Charles Riché with Boccherini’s violin-high writing in mind, his many golden moments include 2/ 34’’ to 3’ 21’’ in No. 5’s Largo, where first you have the soft-focus sweetness of his double-stopping, then the whistle-clean exuberance of his final top swoop.
