Six Sonatas for Cello and Basso Continuo

Only the most ardent devotees or historians of late Classical-era cello performers may know of Jean Balthasar Tricklir (1750-1813), a prominent, highly-regarded French cellist in his day who traveled Europe with a cache of his own compositions in tow to play. The young Russian-born cellist Fedor Amosov (b. 1988), already known for a previous Centaur release of works he arranged written by another obscure French cellist of the same era, Jean-Baptiste Bréval (1753-1823), has here arranged Tricklir’s Six Sonatas for Cello and Basso Continuo, played by himself and pianist Alexander Kostritsa.
