6 Sonatas for Flute & Continuo

Album by George Frideric Handel & Aurèle Nicolet & Christiane Jaccottet & Mari Fujiwara

Six Sonatas for Flute and Continuo is a set of six chamber sonatas by George Frideric Handel, composed in the early 18th century (c. 1710s–1720s). The works exemplify Baroque chamber music, featuring a prominent solo flute line supported by basso continuo with alternating slow lyrical movements and faster dance-like sections and ornamented melodic writing that reflects Handel's approach to instrumental repertoire in his middle period.
First released: 13th May 1984
