Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, May 24, 2020 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Italy has been called "the first home of music" in Europe. But in the 18th century, a number of Italian composers and musicians migrated to other countries seeking their fortunes. In 2019 baroque cellist Phoebe Carrai and her protégé Beiliang Zhu recorded and album entitled "Out of Italy" which features sonatas and duos for two cellos and continuo written by a few of these roving Italians. Tune in this week to hear selected tracks.
