Giovanni Sollima really takes the lid off cello playing, with an intoxicating energetic, rhythmically charged virtuosity. Musical landscapes are evolving and cello technique is no exception.\u00a0\u00a0Here Sollima displays all the new ideas that tend towards developing the left hand for percussive effects with hitting and slapping\u00a0<em>pizzicatos<\/em>, and using the bow to creating cutting and slicing effects.<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/articles\/what-is-the-history-of-the-cello\">The history of the cello<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/works\/best-cello-music\">10 of the greatest works written for cello<\/a><\/li> <\/ul> <p>He is an exciting artist-creative in terms of writing his own arrangements and pieces, and in his interpretations. For example his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/articles\/baroque-music-guide\">Baroque<\/a> performances are teeming with spontaneity with tasteful ornamentation at cadences.

The folk music exquisitely drones away with mellifluous melancholic lines fusing into the concoction. As a composer, his music blends all these influences of folk, rock and baroque styles.\u00a0<em>Lamentation\u00a0<\/em>starts with a folk-like drone with singing above the line, before the fireworks start, with slides galore yielding to fast, furious and dizzying invention.<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/musical-terms\/what-is-folk-music\">What is folk music?<\/a><\/li> <li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/articles\/prog-rock\">In praise of Prog Rock&#8230;<\/a><\/li> <\/ul> <p>Where perhaps the most cutting-edge playing comes is in his sparkling arrangements of Nirvana\u2019s \u2018About a Girl\u2019, Slayer\u2019s \u2018Raining Blood\u2019 and Hendrix\u2019s \u2018Angel\u2019.
