  • Description

    Out of Italy, headlined by eminent baroque cellist Phoebe Carrai and her protege Beliang Zhu, explores duos and sonatas by 18th century Italian composers who ventured northward throughout Europe to seek better fortune.

    The 18th century experienced a mass migration of musicians from Italy – hitherto regarded as "the home of music" – seeking better fortunes in nations to the north. Giacobbe Basevi Cervetto, Giambatista Cirri and Francesco Geminiani went to London, Luigi Boccherini to Madrid. Antonio Vivaldi aimed for Dresden though never arrived, having died en route in Vienna.
    These Italian instrumentalists / composers and others are the focus of Out of Italy, a survey of sonatas and duos for two cellos and continuo by eminent baroque cellist Phoebe Carrai and Beiliang Zhu, many of them quite rare.

    "technically brilliant and musically compelling performances" - MusicWeb International, July 2019

    "full-bodied ... distinguished performances that offer a genuine point of view" – Classics Today (on Phoebe Carrai's Bach Cello Suites, AV0021)
