Project R&C
The ensemble **Project R&C**, short for "recorder" and "cello", consists of the recorder player Magdalena Spielmann and the baroque cellist Szczepan DembiÅ„ski. The two have set themselves the goal of researching and practically reviving the continuo practice that was widespread in the 17th and 18th centuries, in which the cello was the only continuo instrument. This historical practice can be clearly seen in the scoring of numerous chamber music compositions from the end of the 17th century onwards, where, as in Corelli's violin sonatas op. 5, it says "... _per violino e violone ó cimbalo_...".
