Moreover, during the recording sessions, many musical aspects--such as ornamentation, continuo realization, and dynamics--were intentionally left to the musicians' extemporaneous decisions.We used the diversity of colors found in the various instruments forming the continuo group (harpsichord, cello, cello piccolo, violone, theorbo) to create different textures for each movement. Almost like in jazz, each instrument is given its moment to come to the foreground and emerge from the sound of the group.' - Octavie Dostaler-Lalonde\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOctavie Dostaler-Lalonde - Violoncello\u003cbr\u003eArtem Belogurov - Harpsichord\u003cbr\u003eMichele Pasotti - Theorbo\u003cbr\u003eMargaret Urquhart - Violone\u003cbr\u003eVictor Garcia Garcia - Violoncello\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e'the delicacy of her playing is astonishing, but she's just as convincing when boldness and agility are required...' \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- Gramophone Editors' Choice (CC72961 From Mannheim to Berlin)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Given Geminiani's propensity for almost continuous asymmentrical writing, the biggest challenge faced by the performers is to allow the phrases to breathe.
