Geminiani: Sonatas for Violoncello & Basso Continuo

"Debut solo album from cellist Alison McGillivray exploring the music of Francesco Geminiani. "This is a stellar release, full of discrete pleasures for the discerning listener." --Classical Source

The Italian violinist and composer Francesco Geminiani belongs to the generation of Bach and Handel. He studied in Rome with the violinist-composer Arcangelo Corelli and the opera-composer Alessandro Scarlatti. In 1714 he moved to London, where he soon established himself as a performer and composer, later publishing a number of theoretical works on performance techniques and on harmony. He visited Ireland on various occasions and died in Dublin in 1762.
