Sonatas for Violin & Basso Continuo Op 1

Charles Avison was long neglected, but is now being recognized as one of the most brilliant and accomplished English composers of the 18th century. These 12 Concerti are based on Geminiani's opus 1 violin sonatas, are played on period instruments and are recorded here for the first time, by the group which has itself made a reputation as one of the finest instrumental ensembles in Europe. The first of our series of major Avison releases.
