Handel: The Recorder Sonatas
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Erik Bosgraaf is one of the most remarkable recorder players of today. This is the first (2008) of three duo collaborations with harpsichordist Francesco Corti. Handel was truly a man of the stage (some of the recorder sonatas movements are also found in his operas) and these two musicians bring the drama of this music home.
Composer: George Frideric Handel
Artists: Erik Bosgraaf (recorder) & Francesco Corti (harpsichord)

Handel’s sonatas for recorder were composed in the years 1724-6. What is remarkable is that he found the time to concentrate on such work at a time when his operas were in great demand in London: this is the period of Scipione and Agrippina. The young composer was the toast of the town, and had become a naturalised Englishman having followed his old employer the Elector of Hanover, Georg to London. Georg became King George I, and Georg Frideric Handel became George Frederick Handel. It will come as no surprise that the sonatas contain a lot of ‘operatic’ material, from Handel’s own operas, and those of his contemporaries such as Georg Muffat. Many of the most popular arias from Handel’s operas had been published in transcriptions for recorder and keyboard - the ancestors of the operatic paraphrases by Liszt and Henselt in the 19th century.
Although they can be considered as domestic music, the keyboard parts are quite virtuosic (Handel was an excellent harpsichordist), and the composer’s markings are detailed lending credence to the view that these works were also used as exercises. Handel enthusiasts will find much that is familiar in these works, sprightly fast movements and operatic larghettos, the latter no doubt influenced by the operatic workload Handel faced at the time.

Prachtig gespeeld. Een plezier om naar te luisteren.
Very interesting and lively performances. Playing two sonatas on a voice flute was quite inspired: now (in 2020s) it is increasing common to hear the F major sonata played on voice flute (sounding in D major).
I was just wishing for more lively recorder music, and here it is! Thank you!
Mit Eleganz gespielt,sinnliches Erlebnis,vielen Dank😊
PLEASE... THERE SHOULDN'T BE ONE AD IN THIS MAGNIFICENT WORK !😮
Very true 😮😮‼️
So much grateful always for your Brilliant Classics' sharing luscious and sweet sounds with many classical maniacs!
I used to appreciate your past upgraded sounds!
Joyous! This touches my heart so deeply. Thank you.
Fantastico.
Thanks so much. What a gorgeous music, love it!
Some nice music again. Thank you B.C.
いい曲です❤ リコーダー懐かしくなりますね
Muito bom!😊
Wow! Thank you!
The bold and the beautiful :) Hemel en aarde zullen vergaan. Vrolijke musici blijven bestaan. Helaas veel te gehaast uitgevoerd, bij veel muzikanten een hardnekkig misverstand dat Allegro automatisch sneller dan het geluid moet worden uitgevoerd.
❤🎉 marvellous
Awesome 😎😎 9
Merveilleux...
Bravo ! Wonderful Music Forever !
it's a miracle that he managed to make (somehow) recognizable notes at the very end -that's a register that the recorder shouldn't really have! Still not particularly pleasant to the ear though 😅
Very nice execution of Handel's recorder sonatas!
56:36 Woooow! Was that a B8?!
せっかく いい演奏なのに
CMが多過ぎる

Starting from 45:20 is Sonata in F Major, actually.
You are correct! Originally the HWV 369 sonata is written in F Major to be played on a f'-Alto-Recorder.
However for this recording Erik Bosgraaf decided to play the sonata on a Voice-Flute (basically a d'-Tenor-Recorder), presumably because he wanted a deeper and richer colour. To account for the different range of the instrument, they transposed the piece down a minor 3rd to D Major.
The same actually happened for the HWV 367a sonata. It was composed in d minor to be played on a f'-Alto-Recorder originally but is played on a Voice-Flute and in b minor here.
Although in this case a version in b minor written by Händel himself does exist (HWV 367b). This version is composed for the Traverse Flute though (which happens to possess the same range as the Voice-Flute).
Hm I didn't know Handel wrote recorder sonatas. Are these the same people who recorded the Telemann sonatas?
Hi! Yes they are the same artists 😊
42:20
The man became a British Citizen and at that very point spelled his name George Frederick Handel.
No more German spellings or umlauts.
You might find better grounds for your gratuitous corrections of non-existent wrongs if you'd simply read one or two authoritative biographies of the great man.
If you incline towards punctiliousness, consult the HMV to see which of these Sonatas were composed in Germany, Italy or England.
Then apply your half-vast knowledge.
he did not read your answer probably. You must copy this text and paste it into the conversation, to answer the original poster. You answered him outside his conversation.
It should be Händel or at least Haendel.
Be grateful it’s not Handle
Anyone know how to save this album on an (H)an Dell laptop?
@@emfox6280😂
Correct!
@@emfox6280 Did Handel wright his name as Händel or Haendel when in England? I wouldn't be surprised if it got spelt 'Handle' on more than one occasion. As I understand it, spelling was not so strict in the 18th century. As to nowadays, things might be different. I have a remarkably gormless female neighbour who makes a fuss when people spell her christian name incorrectly. It's either 'Lesley' or 'Leslie'. Does one care? However you care to spell his name, this music is rather splendid, isn't it.
