Landmark works of Baroque chamber music given a 21st-century twist. The extent to which George Frideric Handel’s flute sonatas ‘belong’ on the flute is an open question. Some sonatas were composed with the violin in mind, and then arranged by Handel’s London publisher, John Walsh, ever alert to a commercial opportunity. Others were probably conceived for recorder and basso continuo and then transposed for the different register of the flute. Most of them were written around the 1720s, but some date from rather earlier, so far as we can tell.
