Description
For 10 years, cellist Elinor Frey has been searching for the most beautiful Baroque cello music from Italy, the country where cello music first appeared. Accompanied by two musicians, she performs various sonatas, from the famous Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi to the little-known music for the early cello by Giuseppe Maria Dall’Abaco (1710-1805), Antonio Vandini (1690-1778) and Angelo Maria Fiorè (1660-1723), all cellists famous in their time, but now nearly forgotten. Also featured is an irresistible work for solo theorbo, a transcription made by Lucas Harris of a famous violin sonata by Giuseppe Tartini.
