Octavie Dostaler-Lalonde & Postscript
Naples found him too wild, but in London he became a sensation: the rhythmic boldness and unpredictable tempi of composer Francesco Geminiani were a scandalous success throughout Europe at the beginning of the 18th century. The young Canadian star cellist Octavie Dostaler-Lalonde throws herself into Geminiani's sonatas for cello. She is assisted by her fellow musicians from Postscript on theorbo and harpsichord.
