"Listening to this CD is a most enjoyable and fascinating experience...The Hanoverian Ensemble is composed of distinguished chamber musicians who have taken immense pain to re-create the spirit and the style of the music, choosing sympathetic tempi and embellishing the music with precise and deftly-played ornamentation...Impressive virtuosity [and] masterly physical and mental control is demonstrated by all members of the ensemble..."

The Hanoverian Ensemble is a group of distinguished musicians who specialize in historical performance on period instruments. Their programs feature the great music of the Baroque and Classical eras, performed with an expertise garnered from many decades of concert and recording experience. The ensemble’s name evokes the time of the Hanoverian kings of England (1714-1837). The four sonatas en trio on this disc highlight a prolific period in the French Baroque-the rise of the transverse flute as a favored instrument of composers, players and courts. All four sonatas are for pairs of flutes, with continuo completing the trio configuration of these splendid performances.
