TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht, The Netherlands. Around 1700, in Naples, anyone who aspired to make a career as a violinist had the monumental figure of Gian Carlo Cailó to reckon with: this virtuoso worked for the royal chapel and taught at four conservatoires. Only one of his sonatas was preserved, which inspired the young Dutch star violinist Eva Saladin, together with Daniel Rosin on cello and Johannes Keller on harpsichord, to build a programme around Cailó and his brilliant pupils Mascitti and Piani.
