The 18th century experienced a mass migration of musicians from Italy - hitherto regarded as "the home of music" - seeking better fortunes in nations to the north. Giacobbe Basevi Cervetto, Giambatista Cirri and Francesco Geminiani went to London, Ridolfo Luigi Boccherini to Madrid. Antonio Vivaldi aimed for Dresden though never arrived, having died en route in Vienna.
These Italian instrumentalist / composers and others are the focus of Out of Italy, an exploration of sonatas and duos for two cellos and continuo by eminent baroque cellist Phoebe Carrai and her protege Beiliang Zhu, some of them quite rare.
