Francis Caporale (1700 - 1746)
Johann Galliard (1666/67? -1747)
Sonatas
A tribute to G.F. Handel
Kristin von der Goltz - violoncelle
Andreas Küppers - harpsichord & organ
This new CD with Kristin von der Goltz is dedicated to the music of two unknown composers, who both went to London in the eighteenth century, and who both played as leading members in Handel’s orchestra: the native Italian Francis Caporale and Johann Galliard from Lower-Saxony. Kristin von der Goltz has again succeeded in digging up music that – played so inspiringly and, at the same time, powerfully and impressively – is a true discovery!
The cellist is accompanied by Andreas Küpper, who interprets the continuo part on harpsichord, organ, and lute harpsichord, lending the recording a variety of timbres.
Kristin von der Goltz has already released three solo CDs with rediscovered repertoire on RAUMKLANG:
Jakob Klein: 6 Sonatas for Violoncello and B.c.,
11 Caprices for Violoncello by J.-M.-Clément dall’Abaco
and, most recently,
6 Sonatas for Violoncello and B.c. by the little-known composer Antoine Dard.
