Description:
Handel’s Flute Sonata Collection, Performed in a Magnificent Ensemble by Masters Fukunaga and Ageo Featuring silver and wooden flutes crafted by Helmut Hammich, a master craftsman from the former East Germany A collection of Handel sonatas performed by veteran Fukunaga and master Ageo. “This collection of solo sonatas features beautiful melodies in the slow movements, contrapuntal techniques in the fast movements—written for solo and bass voices yet evoking the sound of polyphonic church music— and the method of weaving dance movements into several of the movements to form a single sonata—essentially following various traditional styles that many composers have employed since Corelli. However, when one examines the individual movements built upon these traditional forms, one finds melodies—so sweet and poignant that they could only have been written by Handel—and a world of intensely raging emotions that leave one deeply amazed, recognizing this as the work of a composer well-versed in dramatic works.” (From the booklet) Helmut Hammich, a master craftsman from the former East Germany, built approximately 460 flutes and piccolos during his lifetime. Although his flutes—both silver and wood—are what are known as “modern” instruments, three of them were selected and used for this recording because they possess qualities that make them exceptionally well-suited for performing Handel’s flute sonatas. Master flutist Fukunaga brilliantly brings out the instruments’ wonderful potential—including their rich, full-bodied tone, soft nuances, and exceptional controllability that allows for spontaneous improvisation. Ageo’s supporting performance also shines. The excellent recording quality, which beautifully captures the core of the sound, is also noteworthy. King International
