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.” -
