Rudolf Rasch: The Thirty-One Works of Francesco Geminiani Discography

DISCOGRAPHY
INTRODUCTION
The works composed by Francesco Geminiani are recorded by a great many ensembles and musicians, roughly so since the 1950s. These recordings are precious documents for the study of the performance practice and the reception history of Geminiani’s work. This inventory of these recordings is organized along the lines of the “Thirty-One Works of Francesco Geminiani”. For each work are, as far as applicable, first listed the complete recordings, followed by a listing of recordings that contains one or more selected compositions of the works. There are three kinds of descriptions. Full descriptions, containing information about title, label, year, barcode, musicians, recording site and time, contents, text and cover, are given for all recordings that contain a complete Work of Geminiani. If the recording includes compositions from more than one Work, the full description is given once, usually in connection with the Work that figures most prominently on the recording. If there is no “prominent Work” then the full description is given in connection with the Work that comes first in our sequence of Works. Partial descriptions are provided for the Works or compositions that do not belong to the most prominent Work, with a reference where the full description is found. A partial description lists title, label, year, barcode, musicians and contents. Short descriptions are given for recordings that contain one or some compositions by Geminiani along with works by other composers. They are found in sections labelled “Selected Concertos (Sonatas, Compositions)” that follow the sections with “Complete Recordings”. Short descriptions contain information about title, label, year, barcode, musicians, contents as far as Geminiani’s works are concerned and a list of other composers whose music is found on the recording. This inventory does not claim any kind of completeness.

Remarks The transcriptions of the Concertos Op. 3 are, erroneously so, ascribed to Thomas Billington, The items that are not arrangements of Concertos Op. 3 are said to come from the Pièces de clavecin of 1743. In fact, they are from the Second Collection of 1762. There are copies of this CD where the name of the composer is given as Francesco Maria Geminiani.
