Consobrinae, Latin for cousins, symbolizes the relationship between the two instruments on this album: theorbe and cello. Giovanni Bellini and Hermine Horiot have woven the program of this recording like an ancient tapestry, with their two instruments and the composers who dedicated works to them as a guide. Alongside some outstanding world premieres, the two instruments are heard in duets and solos in a carefully balanced program in which the harmony between the two musicians comes fully to the fore and leads through France and Italy with naturalness and great musical vitality, from one century to the next.
