Hellendaal / Lohmann / Musicus- Violin Sonatas (CD)
The work of the Rotterdam-born Pieter Hellendaal (1721 - 1799) has so far not been widely played or recorded. Antoinette Lohmann and Furor Musicus, always on the lookout for rare (but first rate!) repertoire, have now recorded a complete album of violin sonatas by Hellendaal, boasting as many as seven world premiere recordings, including a rousing Hornpipe. Furor Musicus was founded by Antoinette Lohmann in 2008. The group has released several recordings that have been critically acclaimed. The performers wish to guard against going with the flow of traditions that have developed over the past decades within the historically informed performance movement. There is still so much fantastic repertoire that has been unjustly neglected and never performed, and they view it as an important challenge to immerse themselves in previously unheard repertoire and to avoid being influenced by other performances. The organ used in this recording was built around 1700 by Peter Weidtman the Elder. It resides in Hilversum, the Netherlands. Here, the instrument has been restored as much as possible to it's original state.
