Four of the five sonatas belong to the da chiesa category: their movements are types other than dances. Telemann’s Sonata in D, by contrast, is a sonata da camera, built from the four standard movements of the late Baroque suite. It is the earliest published work on the disc, the second of six sonatas printed in Frankfurt in 1715 and dedicated to Prince Johann Ernst, Duke of Saxony.
The programme also includes Handel’s Suite in E major for harpsichord, with its celebrated Air and variations known as The Harmonious Blacksmith, and the late Violin Sonata in D major, HWV 371, restored here with bars missing from many earlier editions.
Reviews
The musicians play the pieces totally in keeping with the spirit of the music; it's again a CD I've played time and time again.
Period pioneers maintain the standard.
It is commendable that Move should capture some of the country's leading earlier music players on disc … Capella Corelli displays a great deal of technical security and rhythmic tautness …
Artists
Capella Corelli
ensemble
Capella Corelli, one of Australia's foremost baroque chamber ensembles, was formed 21 years ago. The violin works of the great Italian virtuoso Arcangelo Corelli and of his Italian predecessors were the initial inspiration for the group.
George Frideric Handel
composer
George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) was a German-born Baroque composer who settled in London and became a naturalised British subject. He is celebrated for his operas, English oratorios, organ concertos and orchestral works.
Georg Philipp Telemann
composer
Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Almost completely self-taught, he became a composer against his family's wishes and ranked among the leading German musicians of his age.

More to explore
Duos
An extraordinary acoustic frames extraordinary music: Ruth Wilkinson (recorders and bass viola da gamba) and Cynthia O’Brien (baroque violin), the duo known as Capella Corelli, in late Baroque two-part repertoire.
La Prima Stravaganza
Sonatas of 17th-century Italy from Capella Corelli: a window on instrumental music as it found its own voice, from the experimental works of Cima, Castello, Montalbano, Fontana, Frescobaldi, Marini and Uccellini through to Corelli.
Encores
Directed by Douglas Lawrence, the Australian Chamber Choir gathers favoured concert encores in a programme that shows the ensemble at its most immediate and engaging.
Exquisite Harmonies
Exquisite Harmonies features works for viola da gamba and harpsichord, and several harpsichord solos, largely from the French Baroque. The exceptions are Telemann, Abel and Australian composer Troy Russell. A nice treat is an improvised harpsichord fantasia in the style of Telemann.
Two
Two brings together Marais Project founding members Jennifer Eriksson, viola da gamba, and Tommie Andersson, gallichon, theorbo and baroque guitar. Each plays alternate brackets of solos before they join in a splendid suite by Marin Marais.
Six Concerti
Hans-Dieter Michatz and Monika Kornel present Georg Philipp Telemann’s Six Concerti from the 1734 Six concerts et six suites, scored here for voice flute, tenor recorder and harpsichord.
