Info for Graupner: Trio Sonatas

Finnish Baroque Orchestra’s second release of Christoph Graupner’s (1683–1760) music continues to reveal delightful masterpieces by the Baroquemaster, who November 2014 during his lifetime was even more well known than his colleague Johann Sebastian Bach. After the acclaimed release of Graupner’s orchestral works (ODE12202; The Finnish broadcasting company YLE Record of the Year 2013), this new album focuses on some of the chamber works by Graupner – the Trio Sonatas.

Graupner was extremely productive as a composer, with a catalogue of over 2’000 works varying from orchestral works to cantatas, concertos and chamber music. He also possessed a unique personal style of writing music and often favoured certain rarer instruments in his works. Among these are the viola d’amore as well as the chalumeau, both instruments being heard also on this disc.

From his contemporaries Graupner’s music stands out with its exceptional command of melody and harmony.

Members of the Finnish Baroque Orchestra:
Petra Aminoff, flute
Asko Heiskanen, chalumeau
Jani Sunnarborg, bassoon
Hannu Vasara, violin
