That's picking two good ones, is my opinion. Especially the Wand. I'd
like to add something unusual, and unusually sprightly: a new recording on
Vanguard by Reihnard Goebel (of the Musica Antiqua). It's titled Sonaten
aus Dresden. Goebel himself does the lead fiddling backed by varying
(small) forces in this compendium of latish 17th century music associated
with Dresden and it was he who did the research/editorial work on them at
the University of Uppsala, Sweden, where they somehow landed up in the
wartorn Europe of the time. The pieces are mostly short and the composers
mostly not very well known: Clemens Thieme, Johann Furchheim, Johann David
Heinichen. But sound and performance are both brilliant and give the
unknown the sparkle of renown.
