Vito Paternoster is an Italiancellist, recording for Musicaimmagine. He has served as principal cellist for the I Musici (Rome).
Paternoster is the first cellist to record the complete BachSonatas and Partitas for Solo Cello (orig. violin), after locating an anonymous transcription, from Bach's time, next to Bach's own manuscript of the violin masterpieces. These works, transcribed for cello, are now available from Amati Music (http://www.amati.net).
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, of an imaginative and haunting beauty.
Paternoster teaches at the Bari Conservatory (Italy).
Then it was Giuseppe Paternoster who always generously extended his knowledge to the entire zone and, like Basilicata's other great traditionalist D'Angelo, he deserves respect for having put the remote appellation of Aglianico del Vulture on the radar of wine enthusiasts worldwide.
Vito decided to really improve the status of this estate back in the late 1990's, when he chose to lower yields for greater concentration, shorten the maceration period to rid the wine of rough tannins, and improve grape selection, thereby revamping the entire operation.
Paternoster is famous for two different but equally important expressions of Aglianico, each marking the identity of a generation: the Rotondo is an innovative modern wine and the Don Anselmo more traditional but just as rewarding.
