Vito Paternoster


Vito Paternoster is an Italian cellist, recording for Musicaimmagine. He has served as principal cellist for I Musici.
Paternoster is the first cellist to record the complete Bach Sonatas and partitas for solo [violin (1001-1006)|Sonatas and Partitas] for Solo Cello, after locating an anonymous transcription, from Bach's time, next to Bach's own manuscript of the violin masterpieces.
Paternoster also recorded a CD called Inzaffirio, a distillation of the preludes from Bach's Cello Suites - following each prelude is an arrangement for soprano, solo cello, and string orchestra accompaniment.
Paternoster teaches at the Bari Conservatory.
