The Art of the Viola

Despite not visiting England, the Italian violinist and composer Corelli’s influence was felt in London and inspired Handel and other composer’s works. The French composer Michel Corrette did visit London in the 1770s and until recently his works for viola were little known. Elena Artamonova (viola) and Kamilla Isanbaeva (harpsichord) perform a range of works by these composers. Programme Purcell Suite for viola and harpsichord Corelli Sonata for viola and harpsichord, Op.5 Corrette Sonata for viola and harpsichord in B major Handel Sonata for viola and harpsichord, Op.1
