Isle of Sky turns the cello-guitar duo into a narrative voice, where place becomes memory and memory becomes a landscape in motion.

This extraordinary recording brings together a collection of Sonatas, Symphonies and Concertos by Baroque masters from the Royal city of Naples. It includes several world premieres, and is a fundamental contribution for the appreciation of the lively musical atmosphere of eighteenth-century southern Italy. The composers featured here are Pietro Marchitelli, considered as the founder of the Neapolitan violin school, and his nephew Michele Mascitti, who had a brilliant career in Paris and effectively exported the Neapolitan style beyond the Alps. There are also Angelo Ragazzi and Nicola Fiorenza, who were active in much the same milieu as the two former musicians/ and Nicola Porpora, one of the best-known masters of the Neapolitan school, whose instrumental output, however, still awaits the recognition it deserves.
