Giovanni Benedetto Platti ; oboísta y compositor italiano del período Barroco ; otro regalo de la Región del Véneto , para el mundo. Nacido en Padova en 1697 . Se trasladó al sur de Alemania , a Würzburg , en 1722, donde residió hasta su muerte en 1763. Exquisitos conciertos ! Una belleza absoluta 💖
From Wikipedia: Giovanni Benedetto Platti (born possibly 9 July 1697 (according to other sources 1690, 1692, 1700) in Padua, belonging to Venice at the time; died 11 January 1763 in Würzburg) was an Italian Baroque composer and oboist.Platti studied music in Italy (mostly singing, the oboe and the violin). While he was still in Italy (until 1722), he probably saw the recently invented fortepiano and a few of his keyboard solo sonatas and concertos might have been composed for it instead of the harpsichord but this point is debatable. In the chamber works (duets and trios) the harpsichord is clearly the instrument required. No "piano" or "forte" indications are on Platti's keyboard parts in his concertos for harpsichord and strings, though. Also, the extension of at least one of these concertos asks for a D that is beyond Cristofori's instrument's compass (4 octaves CC to c4). In 1722, he was called to Würzburg to work for the prince-bishop of Bamberg and Würzburg, Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn. There he married Theresia Langprückner, a soprano singer with whom he had at least two children. Platti spent the rest of his life in Würzburg, working as a singer, instrument virtuoso, composer and conductor. His duties included finding musicians for the court , as one can read in one of his autograph letters that are available.
Cette musique est si contemplative qu'elle m'a inspiré à contempler ce que les philosophes positivistes déclament depuis toujours. Mon esprit dérive si facilement sur ces belles mélodies éparses, tantôt calmes, puis insistantes, tièdes et proches, tellement intimes, puis s'enfuyant sur des modulations rusées ; de majeur à mineur, tournantes paresseusement comme des feuilles dans un ruisseau....
At first, I thought this was by Piatti, the famous "no vibrato" cello composer, but it is this new guy, Platti, who is very good. How nice to have new cello repertoire! It sort of sounds like the Mozart pieces we cellists wish Wolfgang had written.
????? This is by GB Platti born in Padua in Italy in 1697. Mozart was born in 1756, more than a half century later.....Alfredo PIATTI was born 1822-1901. He was a cellist of Italian origin. Established in London in 1846.
I've often thought the same thing ! it's really disappointing to listen to Mozart's cello works after listening to Platti. But at least Haydn was closer in spirit to Platti in his cello concertos. And the Baroque and Classical era has quite a vast cello repertoire.
Maravilla, Milagro! "S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse, A persona che mai tornasse al mondo, Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo...."
I was looking for the same thing. It seems to be quite difficult to find concertos. Sonatas are available in IMSLP.org and also other places. If you have found the place where you have got concerto sheet music can you please tell me?

I agree with almost everything you've said!
Amen
Meraviglioso!!!! Strepitoso Stefano Veggetti!!!!

Grazie caro maestro Veggetti per aver condiviso questa meraviglia.
I've never heard of Platti until this day. Very enjoyable! Thank you.
아름다운 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎻🎻🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤
Émouvant, sublime.
Tout simplement beau!!!
Esta música es la elegancia personificada. Así deberían ser nuestras vidas, nada en exceso.

As Mature as Bach, well, 'almost'...Beautiful ! Definitely among the top 5.
There is just something about Classical music and baroque in particular that invokes higher order thinking, intellect and pure joy to the soul.
Lindíssimo! Muito obrigado!!!
These concertos are so reflective - elegant
hermosos conciertos y qué gran interpretación.
Thank you! 💮
Magnifico Stefano Veggetti
This is fantastic, thank you!
Bravo concerto super
Majestueux très bonne interprétation ,merci

Exactly! We wish that Mozart had learned from Platti and written some cello pieces of similar complexity and virtuosity.

Haydn is the glue that holds classical music together.
une magnifique decouverte ! musique profonde, tres belle interpretation
Muito bonito| Obrigada.
Beautiful! Thank you!
Assolutamente piacevole, musica d'incanto.

Where might one find the sheet music for these incredible concertos?!
Eman Chalshotori my question too! I’m going to check with my local Strings shops
I was looking for the same thing. It seems to be quite difficult to find concertos. Sonatas are available in IMSLP.org and also other places.
If you have found the place where you have got concerto sheet music can you please tell me?
Muito de Vivaldi, com antecipação do balanço rítmo-harmônico do estilo galante, que seria predominante mais à frente.
I thought this music was composed by Arcangelo Corelli. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Geminiani also wrote concertos based on Corelli's music
Sucks that these concertos are locked away in a castle with little to no access for the rest of us that want to play this.
Those his plays, which are original and not "after Corelli", seem more impressive.
Did not he die in 1697??
11 January 1763
I always thought it was Jul 23, 1724...?
(Around 4pm)
Wonderful!!! :)
