Listening to recitative from the cello

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

"Giuseppe dall’Oglio, the great violoncellist ... took care, with his beautiful tone, to support the singers with some big chords and, thus, to keep them on pitch."

or

"Why I play chords in recitative, how it's not why I started playing chords in recitative, and how I rely on my colleagues to support me."

The majority of this presentation is concerned with my last question, in particular the composition, placement, and layout of the continuo group. With a few nods to history, I reflect on where my practice is now, what I listen to whilst performing, and why my practice has evolved in this direction.
