excerpt from the 3rd movement

Live radio broadcast Ensemble 415 (baroque orchestra) Direction : Chiara Banchini

This is the earliest Italian bass concerto in existence.  Using the orignal manuscript as a mere skeleton, Cléna richly ornamented the piece in the style of the period and developed it with the use of cadenzas.  In doing so, she created a brilliant new version of this work.  A great success with the public, she performed it more than 20 times throughout Italy, France, Switzerland and Germany with the baroque orchestra Ensemble 415.
