Digital Booklet

|||||
The Four Nations Ensemble from New York presents pieces by Geminiani and Handel, two composers who worked together in London at one point. Geminiani took the solo violin sonatas of his teacher Corelli’s Op. No. 5 and retooled them as sonatas for violoncello and basso continuo, here featuring cellist Loretta O'Sullivan. Harpsichordist Andrew Appel is the soloist on Handel's popular Keyboard Suite, performing on a 1754 Kirckman instrument.
