Slovak cellist Michal Stahel numbers among the most extraordinary baroque music performers of the younger generation. On this recording, he introduces rarely heard and unknown chamber works for violoncello by Italian composers and cellists who worked in Vienna during the first half of the 18th century. The cello played here by Stahel was made in Vienna during the exact same period and belongs to the Esterházy Private Foundation today. And it was in the authentic space of the chapel in the Esterházy Palace in Eisenstadt that Michal Stahel brought to life forgotten pieces and revived the spirit of the era during which this precious instrument was built. He was joined by a group of friends, all of them early music specialists from Hungary and the Czech Republic.
