Doppelkonzert Für Cembalo, Fortepiano Und Orchester In Es-Dur / Sonata Für Querflöte, 2 Altblockflöten Und Continuo In G-Dur / Triosonate Für Blockflöte, Querflöte Und Continuo In C-Dur

Released in 1960 by Archiv Produktion, this record is a quintessential example of the mid-twentieth-century effort to revive historically informed performance practices. The collection brings together works by C.P.E. Bach, J.F. Fasch, and J.J. Quantz, highlighting the late Baroque and early Classical transition period. It reflects the meticulous research and rigorous standards of the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, which played a pivotal role in reintroducing early music instruments—such as the harpsichord and recorder—to modern audiences during the post-war era.

The production was spearheaded by the legendary August Wenzinger, who guided the ensemble in capturing these chamber works with an emphasis on stylistic authenticity. By featuring renowned specialists like Fritz Neumeyer on the fortepiano and Li Stadelmann on the harpsichord, the recording sought to move away from the heavy, romanticized interpretations of the time. The disc was well-received by scholars and enthusiasts, establishing itself as a foundational document for those interested in the authentic performance movement of the early 1960s.
