About

The pieces on this CD have been brought together because they are commonly taught to cello students during the early years of their training. Few artists have considered recording these works as they remember them to be rather simple. Played with imagination, in baroque style and with a baroque cello, however, these pieces assume a completely different dimension. I hope that you will be inspired and get much pleasure from listening to these stars of the baroque cello repertoire.” - Angela East

Born into a musical family, Angela East began tuition at the age of four and at fourteen was awarded the Arts Council’s prestigious Suggia Award to study with Muriel Taylor. She then went to the Royal Academy of Music to study with Derek Simpson and afterwards with Andre Navarra and Christopher Bunting.

In 1979, after a number of years of performing on the modern cello, Angela was inspired by the new early music movement. She became co-principle cello with the English Baroque Soloists under Sir John Eliot Gardiner and was invited to play as a continuo player and soloist with many of the foremost baroque orchestras in London, including the first performance on original instruments at Glyndebourne with the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under Sir Simon Rattle.

In 1997 she became a member of baroque group Red Priest, which has given several hundred concerts in many of the world’s most prestigious festivals. She has performed many times on radio and television, including Open University programmes and has appeared on over 200 CDs. She was awarded an ARAM for her distinguished services to the music profession in 1994.
