Description: The father of the somewhat better-known Classical composer (known for his trumpet concerto especially) apparently composed prolifically but this 1727 group of sonatas was his only publication. In the style of Handel's and Telemann's violin sonatas, they prove the testimony of contemporaries that Hertel was one of the finest violinists of his generation. Rachel Harris (violin), Melanie Beck (cello), Andrea C. Baur (archlute, theorbo), Jennifer Harris (harpsichord).
