The Odd Couple: Lindley and Dragonetti.
Watch online here
Nathan Whittaker ~ violoncello
Nathaniel Chase ~ double bass
Robert Lindley and Domenico Dragonetti were stars of the Opera in London from 1792 to 1846, but they weren’t singers, or even the conductors. The gregarious Yorkshireman Lindley and shy Italian Dragonetti were the charismatic principal cellist and bassist, and best friends, who for 52 years famously entertained the audiences with their own duets and renditions of Corelli Sonatas.
Acclaimed period instrument performers cellist Nathan Whittaker and bassist Nathaniel Chase team up for a special project: exploring the oft forgotten and under-performed works for cello & bass through the lens of Robert Lindley and Domenico Dragonetti. They have both performed with the Trinity Baroque Orchestra, the Sebastians, the Arizona Early Music Festival, and with other prominent organizations.
