Vito Paternoster: Cellist extraordinaire.

Vito Paternoster graduated from the conservatory of S. Cecilia when he was very young, under A. Baldovino's guidance. He won a competition for 1st violoncello at the Rai in Rome, and joined the prestigious ensemble I Musici.

He continues to perform with I Musici today, as well as performing as a soloist in the most important theatres of the world. Paternoster has been widely recorded, both as a soloist and in emsembles.

His Sonatas and Partitas for violoncello by Bach, from an 18th century manuscript, is the world premiere recording of these pieces. His recording of the six Bach cello suites have been aclaimed by the international press.

He has directed the Symphony Orchestra of Bari, of Abruzzo, and the Symphony Orchestra Betica of Siviglia, the "B. Marcello" of Teramo. With the latter he directed the first modern performance of "Diana amante di Leo" in Brindisi.

Recently he directed "Il pane dal profano al sacro" (a musical route about the meaning of bread in the southern culture through the centuries), a program composed by him, with the Symphony Orchestra of Bari.

He founded the baroque orchestra "La Lyra di Anphione", which he directed in Spoleto, where he opened the Lyrical Season '99 of the Experimental Lyrical Theatre. Critics consider this production ("Dido and Aeneas" by H. Purcell) as a "delightful performance" and "the director was not on the platform but into music and singing, all the same with them" (Q. Principe).

He plays a violoncello manufactured by L. Carcassi (Florence 1792) and he is a conservatory teacher of violoncello at the conservatory of Bari.
