Out of Italy / Carrai, Zhu, Weaver, Stein

Out of Italy / Carrai, Zhu, Weaver, Stein

The 18th century experienced a mass migration of musicians from Italy – hitherto regarded as ā€œthe home of musicā€ – seeking better fortunes in nations to the north. Giacobbe Basevi Cervetto, Giambatista Cirri and Francesco Geminiani went to London, Luigi Boccherini to Madrid. Antonio Vivaldi aimed for Dresden though never arrived, having died en route in Vienna. These Italian instrumentalists / composers and others are the focus of Out of Italy, a survey of sonatas and duos for two cellos and continuo by eminent baroque cellist Phoebe Carrai and her protĆ©gĆ© Beiliang Zhu, many of them quite rare. ā€œfull-bodied… distinguished performances that offer a genuine point of viewā€ (Classics Today on Phoebe Carrai’s Bach Cello Suites) ā€œelegant and sensual, stylishly wildā€ (The New Yorker on Beiliang Zhu)

-----

REVIEW:

Most composers in the programme are anything but familiar to most music lovers. This disc should contribute to making them better known. Phoebe Carrai and Beiliang Zhu are ideal advocates of their instrument and of its music from the 18th century. They deliver technically brilliant and musically compelling performances, and receive excellent support from Charles Weaver and Avi Stein.
