My first CD and the premiere recording of the Walsh print called “Six Sonatas or Solos contriv’d & fitted for a flute and a bass, collected out of the last new Solos compos’d by Mr. Geminiani & Castrucci…”, London, J. Walsh (1718-1725) is now here:-)
Pernille Petersen, recorder
Gunnhild Tønder, harpsichord
Tom Pitt, cello
Recorded and produced by Viggo Mangor
Distributed by ClassicO
The print contains 4 sonatas by Mr. Castrucci (sonata 5, 6, 10 and 11 from his 12 violin sonatas
op.1) and 2 by Mr. Geminiani (sonata 7 and 10 from his 12 violin sonatas op.1).
The original copy is to be found at The Rowe Music Library at Kings College, Cambridge. Furthermore I have taken two sonatas from the op. 1 violinsonatas (no. 2 and 3) and adapted them for recorder. I have kept them in the original key unlike the Walsh adaptation that has fitted all the sonatas for an alto recorder. By using a soprano (sonata no. 3 op. 1) and a voice flute (sonata no. 2) I can play in the original key.
The CD will have it’s release at the Moeck/SRP Winners Recital, Sunday 14th November 2010 – 4.00pm
Old Royal Naval College Chapel Greenwich. Price: 12 GBP.
For the CD, Claus Johansen has written a wonderful article about life in London in the beginning of the 18th century:
