This CD is the first of three planned albums with music by Giovanni Benedetto Platti, on which we are integrally recording the twelve cello sonatas and the harpsichord sonatas op. 1. We are delighted to have found in Platti an interesting and little-known composer whose music is well worth discovering.

Giovanni Benedetto Platti is a classic example of one of the many underestimated composers of the 18th century. Today, his name is only known to specialists and his music is known to very few. Yet his work is well worth discovering: as a factotum at the Würzburg court, he wrote extremely attractive sonatas and concertos for oboe, cello, harpsichord and flute, among others, as well as large-scale works such as a very interesting requiem.

The twelve cello sonatas have survived in a manuscript dated 1725 from the collection of Count von Schönborn in Wiesentheid. They are all in four movements and - as already mentioned, typical of Platti - impress with their compact and stringent compositional style. Hardly a single movement takes up more than one full page of the score, and many of the slow movements only half a page.
