Questa pubblicazione completa l’intera opera di sonate per violoncello composte e pubblicate a Londra da Emanuel Siprutini tra il 1756 e il 1774 come Op. I, III, V, VI e VII. Nato in Olanda o in Portogallo nella famiglia ebraica degli Shiprut, giunse in Inghilterra a seguito del “Jewish naturalization act” stabilito nel 1753 da re Giorgio II d’Inghilterra, stabilendosi a Londra come commerciante di vini, concertista e insegnante di violoncello. Tra le scarne notizie su di lui, quelle riportate nelle lettere di Leopold Mozart, che lo incontrò a Londra nel 1764 durante il suo soggiorno col prodigioso figlio ancora bambino; tra i suoi allievi vi fu John Crosdill, il più celebre violoncellista inglese del Settecento.

This publication completes the entire oeuvre of cello sonatas composed and published in London by Emanuel Siprutini between 1756 and 1774 as Op. I, III, V, VI and VII. Born in Holland or Portugal into the Jewish family of Shiprut, he came to England following the “Jewish naturalization act” established in 1753 by King George II of England, settling in London as a wine merchant, virtuoso cellist and cello teacher. Little information about him comes from the letters of Leopold Mozart, who met him in London in 1764 during his stay in England with his prodigious son, still a child. John Crosdill, the most famous English cellist of the eighteenth century, was Siprutini’s student until his debut as a concert performer.
