 * description = German flutist and composer Johann Joachim Quantz's Sonata Concertate in D. The flute (Goulding, late 1700's. Pitch A=440) and harpsichord {Pisarensis of Pisa, 1600) are both period pieces using meantone temperament.

Fascinating piece, not something we have a lot of. IMO, excellent performance using period pieces and methods.

 * Weak oppose Definitely a valuable recording to have, but I'm not ecstatic about the performance. The flutist has a somewhat timid sound. There seems to be a strange background copy of the song playing, ahead of the main one by a few seconds. It can be heard at the very beginning, and between movements: noticeably at 2:00. Sixteenth runs around 4:15 misses quite a few notes. Sixteenth runs around 6:50 again misses quite a few notes. The harpsichord and flute lose each other there a couple times. The accelerando of the harpsichord immediately following that seems to be a strange interpretation. Overall it was a pleasure to listen to, but these points make me unable to support.

 * I'm not sure about this one; I can hear all the problems which Jujutacular highlights, but the use of period instruments is interesting and the recording does usefully illustrate the article about the composer, even if that article is terribly brief. I'm not wild about the performance, especially that accelerando which does seem very out of place, but it is a live performance, and on the whole I think it is of a high artistic standard, so therefore weak support. . Nope, sorry, I've changed my mind; the performance is too ponderous and while I appreciate it's on period instruments there's enough problems in this recording to limit its artistic standard. So therefore Oppose. Major Bloodnok (talk) 21:27, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
