With this double CD we celebrate Francesco Geminiani's 250th anniversary (1687-1762). It's incomprehensible that a contemporary of Handel whose compositions are every bit as good as Handel's has been so neglected. There are comprehensive sleeve notes but Somm's principle hope is to convince the listener of the beauty and expressiveness of Geminiani's music which compares very favourably with his contemporary, Handel, with whom he performed for King George I in 1714. Contains a World Premiere Recording.
