Avison / Avison Ensemble Trio & Keyboard Sonatas CD

The fourth in our series of Avison's music, and part of the Complete Edition to be completed by the end of 2009. These hitherto unknown works are real baroque gems. The op. 1 Trio Sonatas led by the strings, are accompanied by Robert Howarth on chest organ continuo; while Robert moves front of stage and to the harpsichord in the Keyboard Sonatas, op. 8. These recordings help further to confirm that 18th century England was a place of fine creative artistry in music.
