Flautist Michaela Koudelková has launched a Hithit campaign to raise funds for the release of her first CD featuring sonatas by G. F. Handel and A. Corelli on the renowned SUPRAPHON label. The project will showcase the virtuosity of Czech musical artists. The choice of repertoire is also unique, as it is almost unheard of performed on the recorder.
"I'm a flautist heart and soul and am fulfilling my lifelong dream. I'm releasing my first CD with sonatas by G. F. Handel and A. Corelli on the renowned SUPRAPHON label. I'm almost there. Will you help me make my dream come true? Be a part of it! Thank you very much!" says Michaela Koudelková about her project.
On the album Koudelková presents selected works by the Baroque masters and musical pioneers Arcangelo Corelli and Georg Friedrich Handel in a historically informed setting. Listeners will have the opportunity to hear the music as it was played at the time it was written. All the musicians involved play period instruments or replicas of them. The guest musicians are Monika Knoblochová on harpsichord, Libor Mašek on cello and Jan Krejča on the theorbo, or baroque guitar.
The entire CD comprises what were originally mostly violin pieces, presented in period transcriptions or original arrangements by Koudelková, who uses a rich palette of flutes - alto recorder in F, soprano in C, soprano in D ("sixth flute"), and the voice flute in D, popular, for example, in Baroque England.
