Sounds of St Cecilia's V: The Art of the Arranger
Gerry McDonald, John Kitchen The critically acclaimed team of McDonald and Kitchen perform virtuoso works for recorder with continuo and obbligato harpsichord by Bach, Vivaldi, Telemann and Corelli, which also exist in alternative versions. Ever commercially astute, Telemann often specified idiomatic alternative instrumentation for his works. Arranging Italian violin sonatas for recorder was almost a cottage industry, and Bach's recycling of his own music resulted in masterworks such as a solo violin movement becoming a full-scale cantata. Featuring the 1709 Barton harpsichord. 'Pure delight' (Scotsman). In support of the FoSCH bursary fund. More information Historical instruments will not be amplified
