Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN / GREBER JAKOB / VIVALDI ANT. In the opera and cantata orchestra of the baroque the sound and gentle timbre of the recorder had a special significance. It served pre-eminently to represent the emotional states of love, pain and sorrow. Many arias with obbligato recorder which have survived are still unknown today, despite the diligent efforts of “early music” enthusiasts to uncover these treasures. Through the “Flauto e voce” series this repertoire, for both study and concert use, is experiencing an interesting expansion and enrichment. The present new issue offers three arias from Bach Cantatas BWV 103 and 182 [the latter in two versions], 2 arias from Vivaldi’s operas as well as a graceful Italiancantata from the historically, practically unknown composer Jakob Greber [ca. 1710]. The Greber piece is in a style similar to Vivaldi. In this collection the Soprano, Sopranino and Alto recorders are employed./ Répertoire / Voix, Flûte à Bec et Basse Continue
