Johann Andreas Amon – Sonatas for Fortepiano and Flute

JOHANN ANDREAS AMON – SONATEN FÜR FORTEPIANO UND FLÖTE
DOROTHEA SEEL – FLUTE
CHRISTOPH HAMMER – FORTEPIANO

Out of the rich storehouse of chamber music by the important musician, composer, and publisher Johann Amon, the flautist Dorothea Seel and Christoph Hammer have revived five attractive and virtuosic flute sonatas from their over 200-year slumber. An eminently worthwhile rediscovery of an almost forgotten composer, whose music had been much celebrated during his lifetime, and rightly so!

Release: June 2025
