Baroque Cello Revival: An Oral History

Cellists play a variety of instruments that they call 'Baroque cellos, ' ranging from basically modern cellos with gut strings, a period bridge, and Baroque bow, to instruments where the entire set-up is altered. This is the first study in which the revival of a single period instrument has received such detailed consideration. Laird also offers many details concerning the history of the period performance movement in reference to famous ensembles and musicians.
