Frederick the Great himself is known to have composed onehundred and twenty-one flute sonatas, four flute concertos, asymphony, various arias and an overture. These works werewritten in the mixed style advocated by Quantz in an attempt toblend Italian music of the senses with French music of reason.The king’s love of music was real and genuine, and he desiredand ensured that others should enjoy it in the same way. As aperformer he was probably one of the most distinguishedamateurs ever. As a composer he wrote nothing eminent or reallyoriginal, though some pieces exuded a certain beauty andcharm. However, this recording promotes theextraordinarytalent of the musicians and composers he surrounded himselfwith at court, the luminaries of the 18th century, all broughttogether by one of the greatest musical patrons that ever lived.
