Album lore

This 2025 release from SAGITTARIA AMFN, based in Bydgoszczy, assembles six solo sonatas by Carl Friedrich Abel, a figure of the late Baroque and early Classical periods. The ensemble—Michael Schmidt-Casdorff, Matthias Bergmann, and Dorota Zimna—interprets Abel’s Opus 6 for traverso flute and basso continuo with an attention to period detail and chamber clarity. The recording’s eighteen tracks unfold with restraint and precision, exemplified by the Adagio opening Sonata I in C major.Though the album’s reach remains modest, its commitment to authentic Baroque performance practice situates it as a quiet artifact among recent classical editions. The inclusion of less expected genres like krautrock and Gregorian chant in the metadata likely reflects the label’s broader catalog rather than this specific session, which is devoted to chamber music’s refined textures and contrapuntal dialogue.
