Description: Overshadowed as a composer by his teacher Corelli and two other contemporaries, Vivaldi and Handel, Geminiani was yet one of the most brilliant violin virtuosi ever. Hence, the complete neglect of his only opus number for the cello, published in 1746 in Paris and whose considerable virtues are fully conveyed here. Jaap ter Linden (cello), Lars Ulrik Mortensen (harpsichord), Judith-Maria Becker (cello).
