A Cello in Italy
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. Accademia de’ Dissonanti performs various sonatas, from the famous Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi to the little-known music for the early cello by Giuseppe Clemente Dall'Abaco and Antonio Vandini, Angelo Maria Fiorè, Luigi Boccherini, and Benedetto Marcello, all cellists famous in their time. Also featured is an irresistible work for solo theorbo, a transcription made by Lucas Harris of a famous violin sonata by Giuseppe Tartini.
