After having played Bach’s suites in the Dolomites, Mario Brunello takes on the composer’s violin repertoire with a new version for small cello. The Chaconne in D minor, a masterpiece written for unaccompanied violin, echoes around the lunar landscape characterising the volcano of Mount Etna. The wall of sound and striking impact of the performance combine with the black lava flows and pale birch trees, in an ascent of the north face accompanied by Bach’s music, in search of new routes and new unheard sounds.
