Daniel Rosin - Violoncello
After studying the modern cello, Daniel Rosin received intensive training in the field of historical performance practice, including at the Schola Cantorum
Basiliensis. Daniel Rosin is now a freelance baroque cellist and guest soloist with
some of Europe's leading baroque orchestras. His main activity, however, is in the
field of chamber music. The collaboration with a large number of ensembles
specifically compiled for specific music is evidenced by CDs produced by Glossa,
Deutsche Grammophon, Christophorus, Passacaille, Claves, Accent or Deutsche
Harmonia Mundi, which have been awarded prizes such as Diapason d’Or, Echo
Klassik, Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik and Opus Klassik.
Course description:
The course in the field of baroque cello is aimed at musicians who would like to build up
and expand their knowledge and skills in: historical stylistics and playing technique, continuo
technique and in relation to the specific, musical requirements that are placed on baroque
cellists in the early music scene.
The focus of the soloist course repertoire is on the defining decades of the first half of the 18th
century and their national styles. Pioneer works from the end of the 17th century as well as
music influenced by classical and romantic performance practice can also be studied.
Continuo playing will also be at the centre – from the chamber music requirements of
bass line design to the conscious appropriation of historically handed down expression
parameters to special tasks for baroque cellists such as partimento competence and
chordic playing.
