Felice Giardini (1716-1796) was an Italian composer, harpsichordist, and violinist of the 18th century (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2022). He was a chorister at Milan cathedral and studied singing, composition, and harpsichord; afterwards, he then studied violin in Turin with celebrated violinist G.B. Somis (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020). Giardini played in opera orchestras throughout Rome and Naples, often improvising violin cadenzas at the end of arias, causing the composer Jommelli to become so agitated he punched Giardini in the side of the head (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2022). In 1748, Giardini toured Germany and arrived in England about 1750 (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020). His excellent playing and compositions garnered incredible fame throughout his lifetime (The Editors of Encyclopaedia, 2020). Giardini spent the rest of years in London as a composer, violinist, concert director, director of the Italian Opera (40 years), and even as an impresario (The Editiors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020). This is the 6th and final Sonata for Flute and Harpsichord. I hope you enjoy!

Composer: Ferdinando Gasparo Turrini (1749-1812)
Harpsichordist: Michele Barchi

Ferdinando Gasparo Turrini da Salò, also known as "Blind Bertoni" or "Little Bertoni", because he had been a pupil of his uncle Ferdinando Bertoni, was born in 1749 in Salò in Northern Italy. He began his career as Harpsichordist for a Venetian theatre. Tragically, he lost his eyesight at the early age of 23 in 1772, after which he was taken on as organist for the church of Saint Justine in Padua. He remained there until in the invasion of Padua by Napoleon's Armies in 1800, when he moved to Brescia, where he died in 1812 (Barbero, 1997, p. 5). Although he is not well-known today, Turrini was highly regarded in his time and often received immense praise from critics and contemporaries alike:

“A blind man came to shed light on our darkness”, thus said his contemporaries of Ferdinando Turrini (1745-1829). Blind and crippled on one hand he nevertheless played the keyboard beautifully: "One can only admire his boundless creativity, feeling, spirit and graceful articulation” (Brilliant Classics, 2019, para. 6).

Composer: Francesco Geminani (1687-1762)
Cellist: Jaap ter Linden
Harpsichordist: Lars Ulrik Mortensen
Cello Continuo: Judith-Maria Becker

Francesco Geminiani was an Italian composer, violinist, teacher, writer on musical performance, and a leading figure in early 18th-century music (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020). Geminiani studied under Corelli, and established his reputation in England where many of his works were highly praised for their technical difficulty and widely considered equal to Corelli's (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020). "His theoretical writings, particularly 'The Art of Playing on the Violin (1751),' had considerable influence, and the latter work remains an important reference on the performance of late Baroque music" (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020, para. 2). Despite his remarkable fame in his time, Francesco Geminiani's work is now largely forgotten. Nonetheless, his brilliant contribution to music is forever.

Francesco Geminiani was an Italian composer, violinist, teacher, writer on musical performance, and a leading figure in early 18th-century music (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020). Geminiani studied under Corelli, and established his reputation in England where many of his works were highly praised for their technical difficulty and widely considered equal to Corelli's (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020). "His theoretical writings, particularly 'The Art of Playing on the Violin (1751),' had considerable influence, and the latter work remains an important reference on the performance of late Baroque music" (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2020, para. 2). Despite his remarkable fame in his time, Francesco Geminiani's work is now largely forgotten. Nonetheless, his brilliant contribution to music is forever.
