Richard Lester (harpsichord/fortepiano)About
Between 1752 and 1757, thirteen volumes containing thirty sonatas in each were copied out for the Queen. To this series of volumes, two others were added numbered XIV and XV and dated 1742 and 1749. These fifteen volumes were bound in red morocco and engraved in gold on the front. The Queen bequeathed these to Farinelli, the famous castrato singer who carried much favour at the Spanish court. Some years after his death in 1782, they were housed in the Biblioteca Marciana, in Venice. They are now referred to as the ‘Venice’ manuscripts and constitute the principal source for these recordings.
