Programme Note
Handel and Geminiani both arrived in London in the second decade of the 18th century. Handel was affectionately dubbed ‘Il Caro Sassone’, ‘The Dear Saxon’, and Geminiani meanwhile, ‘Il Furibundo’, ‘The Furious’. Tatty Theo (cello) and Carolyn Gibley (harpsichord) of the Brook Street Band perform a selection of beautiful chamber music highlighting both composers’ unique styles.
