Bruno Cocset is a French baroque cellist who studied with Anner Bylsma and Christopher Coin. In 1996 he founded Les Basses Réunies, a small instrumental ensemble, to promote the string bass repertoire.
Francesco Geminiani (1687-1762) came to London in 1714, and in 1733 he arrived in Dublin where he wrote a collection of songs and tunes inspired by the folk music he found at his new home. The tunes were arranged as sonatas and published in 1749 in London.
James Oswald (1710-1769) was a Scottish composer who was knewn and admired by Geminiani.
Turlough O’Carolan (1670-1738) was an Irish harper who went blind at age 18. He travelled throughout Ireland as itinerant bard and wrote a large number of songs and tunes.
This is a wonderful album which explores the mutual influences between continental baroque music and the folk tunes of Scotland and Ireland which happened during the first half of the 18th century on the British Isles and Ireland. Already 250 years ago, musicians and composers of continental Europe got in love with the beauty of celtic harmonies and tunes. The music is nicely played and
very well recorded.

I have a lot of respect and admiration for Mr. Suzuki, and most of his output is on Tidal; so, time to rediscover recordings which years ago gave me much pleasure.
