Baroque Masterpieces – for Solo Cello and Continuo

A musical journey through 17th- and 18th-century Europe featuring six of the most beautiful cello sonatas of the era.

In this concert, musicians Gian-Andri Cuonz (baroque cello) and Mika Stähle (harpsichord) take the audience on a journey through 17th- and 18th-century Europe. Along the way, they bring to life the cello’s evolution from a purely bass instrument to a solo instrument in its own right. Alongside well-known composers such as Antonio Vivaldi and Georg Philipp Telemann, lesser-known but no less significant figures such as Domenico Gabrielli, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, Jean-Baptiste Barrière, and Francesco Geminiani also feature—in a sense, the “crème de la crème” of composers for the Baroque cello.
