Francesco Geminiani, Cello Sonata op.5 No.2 in d-minor,
Francesco Saverio Geminiani (baptised 5 December 1687 – 17 September 1762) was an Italian violinist, composer, and music theorist. BBC Radio 3 once described him as "now largely forgotten, but in his time considered almost a musical god, deemed to be the equal of Handel and Corelli."
I couldn't agree more with BBC. Geminianis Cello Sonatas are musical jewels. Enjoy this first movement of the d-minor Sonata. More to come!
