Description:
Recorded October 2013 (Sonata VI); December 2014 (Sonatas VII?XII) at Petruskyrkan, Stocksund, Sweden
This SACD+CD release presents Sonatas 6-12 from the collection "12 Sonaten für Flöte und b.c." in an exemplary performance by recorder virtuoso Dan Laurin and the ensemble Paradiso Musicale. The hybrid format unites a high-resolution SACD layer with a standard CD, offering both audiophiles and conventional CD listeners a richly detailed, spatially transparent sound ideal for baroque chamber music. The sonatas explore a wide expressive range: from dance-like, rhythmically buoyant movements to inward, lyrical slow sections that let the flute line sing above the supple foundation of the basso continuo. Historically informed articulation, tasteful ornamentation and a finely balanced continuo group highlight the refined counterpoint and harmonic nuance of this repertoire without ever sounding academic. Each movement is shaped with a clear sense of rhetoric and narrative flow, making the sonatas feel like a sequence of vivid musical scenes rather than purely formal exercises.
Dan Laurin, one of the leading recorder players of his generation, has become internationally recognized for his intense expressivity, technical brilliance and imaginative approach to baroque and early music. His numerous recordings, many of them award-winning, have contributed significantly to the modern re-evaluation of the recorder as a solo instrument capable of virtuosity and emotional depth. With Paradiso Musicale he finds chamber partners who match his precision and flexibility, resulting in ensemble playing that is both conversational and spontaneous. The group's interplay, dynamic shading and rhythmic vitality bring out the dance origins of many of these movements while preserving stylistic authenticity. Together they turn these sonatas into a coherent cycle that invites repeated listening and closer exploration of each individual work.
