Carl Friedrich Abel - Four concertante works for violoncello
It is always astonishing that to this day musical gems by even famous composers often do not receive the attention they deserve, or even - despite modern digital access - have been unjustly forgotten.

The four works by Carl Friedrich Abel presented here are such treasures, and two of them - the Sinfonie Concertanti WKO 42 and 43 - will be released on record for the first time to mark the 300th anniversary of the composer's birth in 2023. The reason for this is surely that Abel's activity and fame as a gambist and as a composer for his instrument has obscured the fact that he wrote these four important concertante works for the cello. This recording should help to restore the reputation these works deserve.
