Six Cello Sonatas

The "cello" sonatas on this album are Handel's Recorder Sonatas, Op. 1, transcribed for the cello. Recycling material from one instrument to another was common in the early eighteenth century and was resorted to by Handel, Bach, and Vivaldi, not to mention numerous lesser lights. The lack of Handel compositions for solo cello is explained by the fact that the instrument was in its infancy when he wrote most of his chamber music; Vivaldi's cello sonatas date from around 1740, by which time Handel could afford to occupy himself with grand public spectacles. The British duo that calls itself the Brook Street Band, consisting of the inimitably named cellist Tatty Theo and harpsichordist Carolyn Gibley, is thus on solid ground in remaking these pieces into cello works; the transcriptions tend to place the cello in the middle of the harpsichord's right-hand notes, but Gibley is sensitive to this problem, and the players function nicely as a duo. Theo does not fall into the group of historical-instrument..
