  • Description

    The compositions recorded here are a significant example of musical taste as it spread to the other side of the English channel in the first decades of the 18th century.

    England welcomed the “Corellian� style with such enthusiasm as to attract onto its banks a rich line-up of instrumentalists, singers, impresarios who with varying degrees of success contributed to the spread of the new Italian style based on the Sonata and the Concerto Grosso canonized in Corelli’s op. V and VI.

    Francesco Geminiani arrived in London in 1714. As a direct disciple of Corelli, it was easy for him to become part of the musical life there in London, soon gaining great fame as a violinist. The six Concerti Grossi op. II had the benefit of being performed publicly in concerts organized by Geminiani himself in the Hickford Room.

    German classical magazine “Toccata� wrote about this recording: “It seems as if these works were only waiting for Auser Musici.�
