CHRISTOPH GRAUPNER (1683-1760): Ouverture Suites in A Minor for Flute, Strings and Continuo, GWV 322 and in G Minor for 2 Flutes, Strings and Continuo, GWV 470, Concertos in B Flat for 2 Oboes, Strings and Continuo, GWV 342 and in D for 2 Trumpets, Timpani, Strings and Continuo, GWV 318..

Description: French elegance, Italian expression and German experimentation in harmony, counterpoint and insrtrumentation (the four timpani and two trumpets in GWV 318 really get your attention and make you wish the concerto was longer than eight minutes) all come together in these works from the early 1730s. L’arpa festante; Rien Voskuilen.
