Disc No: 8.224213 A sparkling set of sonatas for flute accompanied by harpsichord from a golden age of Danish musical life; that is what the Norwegian-born flautist Maria Bania and the Danish harpsichordist Lars Ulrik Mortensen entertain us with on this CD of rare and forgotten music by Johann Adolph Scheibe and Martin Ræhs the Younger. It is music which, although composed to order and for the needs of the moment, exhibits a refreshing originality and gives us a wonderful glimpse of a musical culture that is almost forgotten today.
Danish musical life flourished in the eighteenth century. Composers like Scalabrini, Sarti, Naumann, Schulz and Kunzen cast their sparkle over court life, and as one can hear from the names, these were composes and musicians who were imported from among other places Italy and Germany.
