JOHN GARTH (1721-1810): 6 Cello Concertos, Op. 1.

Description: Published in 1760 but composed over the years of the previous decade, these are the first known English cello concertos. Garth was a student and colleague of Avison and these concertos contain elements both of the baroque concerto grosso (as in Avison) and incipient sonata-form processes which look forward to the Classical period. 2 CDs for the price of 1.
