A project I am working on might be of some interest to readers here. These are recording of the Marcello Sonatas arranged for two basses.

Great recordings. Are the second bass parts taken from the piano parts?

Frankly, from a predominantly electric player....

Sort of...The music was written in 2 lines: solo part, bass line, with the figures (chord changes) below the bass line. Any keyboard player of the era would have been able to read the figured bass line and make up the 'piano' part.

loving these. if you'd ever be willing to share the continuo parts, it'd be a real joy to play these with friends.

My intention is to publish the arrangement when I've finished recording all 6 sonatas.

For anyone interested, I've resumed releasing the recordings after a short break to attend to my day job and then go on vacation...

I should start finishing a new one every few days or so over the next couple weeks.
