When thinking of important cello repertoire from the Baroque period of course J.S. Bach’s suites spring to mind immediately. But there is so much more out there to be discovered from this period. And not just from Germany. Italian composer and violinist Geminiani wrote just six sonatas for cello but they deserve far more attention than they are getting today.
In fact Francesco Geminiani’s only set of six sonatas for cello and basso continuo is one of the finest from the Baroque era. This composer was London-based for quite a while. He then began to visit France (among other countries). When writing his cello sonatas he also drew on the French viola da gamba tradition. He combined this with his own style which was based on Corelli. But Geminiani also inserted a lot of embellishments and contrapuntal passages.
These sonatas are highly attractive and expressive pieces. Especially both ones two in minor keys touch on the emotions of the listener. The sonatas are quite demanding for the performers. Unusual is Geminiani’s frequently allowing the main cello and the accompanying parts to cross.
Dutch cellist Jaap ter Linden hardly needs any introduction. He is one of the leading musicians having been involved in historically informed performances from the very start. Ter Linden has made several recordings for Brilliant Classics, including Bach’s suites and sonatas by Vivaldi. His performances of these works by Geminiani are intense and lively.

I am lost in a Baroque labyrinth full of comfort , emotion and joys
Geminiani on violin, Handel on harpsichord, those were the greatest times in orchestral history.
È sempre bello ascoltare buona e grande musica.
Thank you so much my baby nephew wouldn't stop crying and I put on a lullaby and he fell asleep 5 minutes later and he slept for 2 hours straight
Geminiani is always delightful. This is a superb performance. Thanks so much. I never cease being amazed at the quality of these recordings.
I adore this superb, lush, delicate, civilized beauty. I liked this first piece for many years, but never knew who it was, it played in a place I worked many years ago. I've always tried to find it or learn who it was. Thank you!! I never knew of Geminiani before this moment.
This is my favorite kind of chamber music to listen to in my own time. So happy!
Sometimes the music itself surprises us when we think we heard all
Thanks it's so beautiful 🦋🙌🌈😊🎵🎶big hug!!!!
Mastro Francesco Geminiani, acquaintance is great pleasure. 😎

Sublime ...Muchas gracias!!!
Anything featuring Jaap ter Linden is worth listening to. Also, I love the painting(Coast view with Apollo and the Cumaen sybil, by Claude Lorrain.)
What an utter delight! Thank you.
Thank you for this. I needed something beautiful and relaxing while drawing today.
Not sure why his work is “largely forgotten”. It’s very beautiful. I wish music critics would let the public decide what we like and stop over-curating! 🎶 🎼
If you would read the comments here, you would readily recognize which kind of musics the public frequenting here does definitely like... Otherwise, you are joining the 'over-curating' you possibly hate...
Who cares what music critics think. Music critics are musicians and composers not talented or brave enough to perform or compose.
How do you imagine 'Critics Over-Curate' ? Cheers from Mexico City!
@@clancywiggamThis is nonsense and a fallacious over generalization.
@@Summalogicae I am guessing you are a music critic.
To think that I once considered myself somewhat knowledgeable about classical music - here, BC has humbled me once again (to more unexpected delight). I was unaware of Geminiani's cello sonatas, thinking of him as violinist who had made some minor works also for guitar ("my" instrument). Again, new learning, new enjoyment of "new" works, played superbly. Thanks to all.
Which classical guitar transcriptions of Geminiani are you referring to? Does Bream or Segovia have transcriptions?
Thank you for this Master Piece!!
Che opere meravigliose... Grazie.
Sublime...muchas gracias!!!
Simply marvelous music
amazing
❤️❤️❤️🌹
👌👏
Peace and Freedom
I was Geminiani in my past life
Me too!
Yaaaaaaawn. This music is great ASMR.
Definitely ! But without the yawn. Just a slow pleasurable drifting into oblivion. Known as a sensorial orgasm . . .
