About

The six Recorder Sonatas by George Frideric Handel are a compendium of the recorder original literature and have an exceptional position because of their beauty.

They are typically Handelian in character, in that the upper voice is very vocal, like his operas. The melodies are truly captivating and remarkable for their ‘simplicity’, which demands far more virtuosity than simply moving the fingers quickly.

The striving of Stefan Temmingh - one of Germany’s most renowned recorder player of the younger generation - is to come as close as possible to the greatest of all instruments: the human voice.

The bassline makes an equal counterpart to the recorder part; it’s opulent, virtuosic and full of variety - much more than in comparable pieces. It’s executed without cello and only by harpsichord, performed in an outstanding way by Wiebke Weidanz.

Reviews

May 2019

This disc came as an agreeable surprise, providing constant pleasure for more than an hour…Weidanz produces wonders of variety on her harpsichord, and the pair are clearly intimate enough to semi-improvise much of the time.

April 2019

The naturalness of the playing across the set, aided by both artists’ decision not to write out their ornamentations in advance, is one of its chief glories. With such a palpable rapport between the two musicians, this is a disc thoroughly worthy of your time.
