Sabrina Frey, Recorder & Philippe Grisvard, Harpsichord
Italian Sonatas 1730 - Works for Recorder & Harpsichord by Sieber, Sammartini, Ferronati, Scarlatti, Vivaldi and Mancini [inkl. World Premiere Recordings]
All of the present works have one thing in common: the sonatas were all composed within 30 years in Italy. The reduction to the interpretation of the baroque sonatas with only two instruments – flauto dolce (recorder) and harpsichord – creates a flexibility that is enchanting.
Sabrina Frey (recorder) and Philippe Grisvard (harpsichord) lead a colorful journey through the versatile flauto dolce repertoire of Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries. The «Neapolitan school», the «Venetian school» and Arcangelo Corelli‘s influences are represented as well as the «galant style».
Premiere recordings are heard alongside already known works whose manuscripts are scattered in libraries around the globe.
THE DUO
For many years Sabrina Frey and Philippe Grisvard have been working closely together in the Ensemble «Accademia dell‘Arcadia Turicum». An increasing concert activity as a duo led to the desire to record a program only for recorder and harpsichord on CD, exploiting all the sound, interpretative and flexible registers of these two instruments.

FONO FORUM: Album Review and Tip
»[...] Frey and Grisvard present highly baroque sonatas [...] The sound of Frey is always beautiful. Effortless her virtuosity, precise articulation, round, to which Grisvard’s full-fledged continuo contributes [...] a perfect sound!
