The Brook Street Band has easily earned it's reputation as "the smartest new baroque band around" (The Times, London). Among today's most notable Handel specialists, the group's founder, cellist Tatty Theo and harpsichordist, Carolyn Gibley, turn their attention for only the second time to the music of J.S. Bach as well as his son Carl Philip Emmanuel. Like father, like son, each wrote three Sonatas for viola da gamba and harpsichord. These works have long been a valued part of the cello repertoire, but this recording is the first to make use of a regular four-string baroque cello.
