W. Moore Giovanni Benedetto Platti (1697-1763) was a Paduan composer and performer who moved to Wurzburg, Germany fairly early in his life and remained there for the rest of it. He was a teacher, singer, and instrumentalist at the court of the Bishop Prince of Salzburg and Wurzburg, Johann Philipp Franz von Schonhorn. His compositions include an opera, Arianna, and oratorios and more. There is a surprising amount of cello music, including these sonatas, more than 20 concertos, and more chamber music. He seems to have played the oboe himself, though there is a portrait of him playing a violone, according to the notes.
These cello sonatas are in two groups of six, both dated 1725. All are written in four compact movements, the first set accompanied here by organ and harpsichord, the second by violone and harpsichord. They were written in two parts without harmonic indications, so the chords have been chosen by the players. The music is not complex and is played here with polish and love. It is the first time I have heard the earlier set. I recommend both to your attention, even if you own one of the earlier recordings (Jan/Feb 2012). Galligioni is a polished player and blends simplicity of tone with virtuosity, as do his colleagues.
