Millennium of Music
Music List # 10-10
Spotlight on the Netherlands:
The Recorder Sonatas
We continue our long and fruitful association with our partners at Radio Netherlands in presenting a series of concerts from the 2009 Holland Festival of Early Music at Utrecht. The RNW web site provides more in-depth information about the music and performers we hear as well as more information about the festival (www.rnmusic.nl). The primary theme for 2009 was the 250th anniversary of the death of Handel and the 350th of the birth of Purcell.
RNW has also prepared a short YouTube video introduction to the festival for this year:

NOTE: All of the music on these programs is performed by the Erik Bosgraaf, recorder and Francesco Corti, harpsichord. All of these works (except the earlier HWV 358 from the Italian period) were written by Handel around 1725.
