Dutch recorder player Erik Bosgraaf is one of a group of Young Turks taking a fresh look at the Baroque recorder repertory, with often spectacular results. Here Bosgraaf turns to Handel’s sonatas for recorder and harpsichord. The keyboard realizations here are unusually vigorous and ornate, and the instrument is almost an equal partner with the recorder. This album represents an excellent imaginative reconstruction of what these sonatas might actually have sounded like in Handel’s time, based on the contexts in which they might have been used.
