London Handel Players
Rachel Brown - flute (copy of Palanca by Martin Wenner)
Adrian Butterfield and oliver Webber violins
Katherine Sharman cello
Laurence Cummings harpsichord
Gently breathed and musically refined...The First Sonata in particular emerges here with a Gallic exquisiteness of gesture to match that of a Couperin or a Marais.
Gramophone
What the London Handel Players bring to the table is a crystal-clear recorded sound which lends a thrilling immediacy to textures which themselves are always elegantly enunciated. Sonatas nos.1 and 4 benefit from the expressive eloquence of Rachel Brown's flute, and in the opening Andante of the B minor, she and Adrian Butterfield converse with flirtatious suppleness - the ravishing Largo her chance to soar like a Handelian operatic diva.
