His brother, Giovanni Battista, was one of the fathers of the modern symphony; like him and like their father Alexis de Saint-Martin, Giuseppe Sammartini was a virtuoso oboist. But he chose to make his career at the court of the Prince of Wales, in London. Surrounded by a group of exceptional musicians, Maurice Steger gives us a chance to discover seven of his sonatas for recorder and continuo which, though composed in England, clearly proclaim their Italian origins! A treat for the ears, and a dazzling display of virtuosity.

If you're looking for an expertly played and beautifully recorded program of pleasant Baroque flute works, you can't go wrong here. Flautist Maurice Steger and colleagues deliver consistently captivating performances of these always charming if occasionally less-than-inventive sonatas--although a few could qualify as minor masterpieces. Fast movements are handled with dashing virtuosic speed; the slower ones are exquisitely delicate and soulful. Arguably, the most fascinating, memorable moments of the program occur in the second and third movements of the 23rd sonata, where Sammartini's inspiration approaches that of his better-known, near-exact contemporary Antonio Vivaldi.
Harmonia Mundi's sound is audiophile quality with carefully balanced instruments captured in a complementary space that preserves detail and projects a full-bodied ensemble presence. It's doubtful a better case can be made for this music.
