NEWS AND VIEWS Amateur cellists - would you like to join an orchestra? New CD release: Baroque Cello Illuminations – shedding new light on old favourites Angela East (baroque cello) with Howard Beach (harpsichord) and Ruth Alford (cello) The music on this CD will be familiar to all of us: Eccles - Sonata no 11 in G minor DeFesch - Sonata Op 8 no 3 in D minor Vivaldi - Sonata no 5 in E minor RV40 Couperin - ièces en Concert from Les Goûts Réunis arr. Bazelaire/East Sammartini/Berteau - Sonata Op 1a no 3 in G major Bach - Suite no 1 in G major BWV1007 She has designed this especially for teachers and their pupils, so that all of these popular pieces are together on one CD. Angela has a lifetime of experience as a continuo player with many of our leading baroque orchestras such as the English Baroque Soloists, King’s Consort and the Gabrieli Consort and Players. She is a founder member of the ensemble Red Priest and this CD is the fifth in the series of Red Priest Recordings. For those who know this ensemble, they will expect and discover interesting and innovative ideas, ornamentation, improvisation and a few surprises! Joined by the incorrigibly witty but profoundly musicianly Howard Beach on the harpsichord and the lively and lyrical Ruth Alford on continuo cello, this is a very special addition to the Red Priest collection. A special discount is offered to teachers, so that they can pass the CDs on to their pupils. One CD costs £12.99 + £1 p&p but for increasing numbers the price is discounted; 5 CDs cost £50 including p&p, 10 cost £80 inclusive.
