Franco Gulli can be easy considered one of the greatest violinists of the XIX Century; but unfortunately had a discographical career less than his qualities and merits. Nowadays IDIS is gathering his discographical history. In this release the Triestine violinist performs two of best masterpieces of XVIII musical literature: Antonio Vivaldi ’s Quattro Stagioni and J.S.Bach’s Prima Sonata for solo violin BWV 1001. In the first recording of 1959 the thirty-three year old violinist is conducted by one of the most talented conductors of time, Aldo Ceccato; the pure sound and the impeccable virtuosity comes out completely in this recording with the impressive Gulli’s cantabile. This recording of the Quattro Stagioni is of a good sound quality at the same level as Bach’s Sonata no 1 in which Gulli solves the complex counterpoint of the work with a unique elegance.
