Early Italian Cello Music

The long awaited CC1016 features Richard Tunnicliffe exploring the complete works for cello by Gabrielli, placing them in the context of other rarely heard early Italian contemporary pieces by Selma and Frescobaldi. Using both cello and bass violin for this project, Richard has deployed a varied continuo team of harpsichord, theorbo and 2nd cello giving a multitude of textures for this beautiful music.
