Description

The duo AKOYA (violinist Naomi Dumas and harpsichordist Caitlyn Koester) makes its ATMA Classique debut with a recording devoted to violin and harpsichord sonatas of Christoph Graupner. Almost forgotten after his death in 1760, Graupner’s music has been enjoying a renaissance in recent years, thanks to the discovery of his compositions at the University of Darmstadt in Germany. Among his 36 chamber and keyboard sonatas, AKOYA along with Amanda Keesmaat, baroque cello, offer an impressive selection, including several that are recorded for the first time.
