“It's with a dignified detachment - yet every technical competence - that Kaakinen-Pilch presents this music. Neither Graupner nor his music needs to 'shout'...This CD certainly demonstrates that Graupner possesses more than his fair share of originality, ingenuity and freshness.” --MusicWeb International, January 2014

“The performances by the Finnish Baroque Orchestra are exemplary, the mood benign and unhurried to match the music, and every player of every unusually featured instrument...calmly taking their opportunity to make a colourful contribution while remaining firmly part of the team.” --Gramophone Magazine, February 2014



Finnish Baroque Orchestra, Sirkka-Liisa Kaakinen-Pilch

Graupner was a contemporary of Bach and Telemann, largely forgotten, but highly celebrated during his day.

What is significant in Graupner’s music is his exceptional command of melody and harmony, which are individual and unique.

A second volume of Graupner’s music will be released in 2014.
