In the early 18th century, London was experiencing a golden age of the recorder. It was during this period, in 1724, that Balsanti published his first collection of works: *Six Sonatas for Recorder*. Among the many recorder works published in London, this collection of sonatas by Balsanti is brimming with both lyricism—which conveys the joy of recorder music—and precision, and is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of recorder sonatas.\nThe tone produced by Motomura is clear and beautiful. The continuo ensemble is also perfectly assembled, featuring Ageto—a beloved disciple of Leonhardt and Hohoiland—Sakurada, who captivated listeners with his enchanting tone on *Guitars of Serenity* (WAONCD060), and Hirao, a world-renowned gamba player. The crystal-clear recorder and the warm basso continuo weave together an enchanting world. Additionally, a hand-bellows organ is used in the first, second, and fourth movements of No. 1, as well as in No. 4, and the opportunity to enjoy its gentle, warm tone is a highlight.\n\n・Balsanti: Collection of Recorder Sonatas (London, 1724) – All 6 Pieces\nNo. 1 in D minor\nNo. 2 in C major\nNo. 3 in G minor\nNo. 4 in C minor\nNo. 5 in F major\nNo. 6 in B-flat major\n\nMutsuyuki Motomura (recorder)\nMasako Hirao (viola da gamba)\nToru Sakurada (lute)\nNaoki Ageo (harpsichord, organ)\n\nRecording Dates: March 13–15, 2007\nRecording Location: Kanagawa Prefectural Sagamiko Exchange Center\nRecording Format: Stereo (DSD\/Session)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Waon Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595637317921,"sku":"4560205956084","price":2690.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4560205956084.jpg?v=1790482053","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4560205956084","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
