About:
A sparkling set of sonatas for flute accompanied by harpsichord from a golden age of Danish musical life; that is what the Norwegian-born flautist Maria Bania and the Danish harpsichordist Lars Ulrik Mortensen entertain us with on this CD of rare and forgotten music by Johann Adolph Scheibe and Martin Ræhs the Younger. It is music which, although composed to order and for the needs of the moment, exhibits a refreshing originality and gives us a wonderful glimpse of a musical culture that is almost forgotten today.

Reviews

REVIEWS

"Bania and Mortensen are ideal exponents of this unprofound yet diverting music. Bania’s pure, delicate tone suits the works’ refined melodies ... Mortensen’s alert, precise keyboard provides her with an ever-responsive accompaniment."
International Record Review

"There are fine and expressive conversations between the two instruments in Scheibe's graceful and by no means slight sonatas ... Ræhs' sonatas are beautifully revealed through the soft, supple and agile transverse flute of Maria Bania ... Lars Ulrik Mortensen's eloquence is abundant."
Politiken

"This is an attractive aural morsel that rescues these composers from anonymity."
Classics Today

"En enestående kammermusikalsk oplevelse … en sådan cd fortjener vid udbredelse og være hermed anbefalet."
Kristeligt Dagblad

"En meget vellykket cd … Inspirerede og vitale fortolkninger."
