*The mastered sound source is distributed. https://linkco.re/Dm81c6R6?lang=en (Eng.) [Music commentary] Christoph Graupner (1683 - 1760) was a German composer who was active at the same time as the great Bach (J, S. Bach). There is a known anecdote that Graupner wrote a letter of recommendation to the church when Bach was elected the cantor (director of music) of St. Thomas Church, Leipzig. This is a testimony to his personality and shows that he knew Bach well and held him in very high esteem. The scores he left behind were sealed in the castle in Darmstadt by order of the lord of the castle, that results in the excellent preservation of his works, but his name remained unknown to the public. In recent years, his works have been more often performed. The piece we performed [Trio C-dur Trio, a Fagotto, Chalumeau e Cembalo GWV 201] is an exceptional trio sonata written for two bass-bearing wind instruments, namely the bassoon and bass chalumeau, and basso continuo. It is composed in the form of a church sonata in four movements, slow - fast - slow - fast, with alternating slow and fast movements. The video was filmed in consideration of the pacing between the movements, so that the viewer can feel the relationship between the interactive movements. The two melodic instruments are supported by the bass continuo of the harpsichord and double bass, creating a sense of depth and dimension of the music. The venue where the recording was made (Salone Fontana) is a superb wooden building with excellent acoustics. We hope it will remain in good condition for many years to come. *CHRISTOPH-GRAUPNER-GESELLSCHAFT: https://christoph-graupner-gesellschaft.de/ [Performers and musical Instruments used.] Yoko Eitani: Baroque Fagotto (Bassoon); by Peter de Koningh, 2000, T.
