Double Concerto For Harpsichord, Fortepiano And Orchestra In E Flat Major / Sonata For Traverse Flute, 2 Treble-Recorders And Continuo In G Major / Trio Sonata For Recorder, Traverse Flute And Continuo In C Major

Released in 1960 by Deutsche Grammophon’s prestigious Archive Production label, this recording reflects the mid-century revival of interest in historical performance practice. The disc focuses on the late Baroque and early Classical transition, showcasing works by C.P.E. Bach, J.F. Fasch, and J.J. Quantz, figures who were central to the musical life of the Prussian court of Frederick the Great.

The Archive Production series was renowned for its scholarly approach to the repertoire, often featuring period-informed instrumental textures and careful musicological research. The design follows the label's signature aesthetic of that era, emphasizing a formal, archival presentation that prioritizes the documentation of the compositions over commercial flourish, consistent with the label's mission to catalog the breadth of Western music history.
