Bernhard Kratzer, a member of the Wurttemberg Theater orchestra in Stuttgart, is a strong player whoseincisive tone is often nicely rounded. His light articulations, interesting ornaments, dynamic shapes, andmeaningful phrases make this a very enjoyable recording. Monika Nuber is an excellent accompanist, andthe Standner organ of Villingen Cathedral sounds big yet clear.
This is my first exposure to the little Sonata al\' Postcommunio by GB Martini, the concerto by JohannGottfried Walther, the Sinfonia from II Barcheggio by Alessandro Stradella, and the suite by Purcell. TheMartini Toccata and the concertos by Albinoni, Torelli, and Telemann are standard fare, but Kratzer doespersonal things-such as some ethereal high-register work in the gorgeous Adagio of the Torelli- that makethem seem quite fresh.
