Antoinette Lohmann and Furor Musicus - Hellendaal: Violin Sonatas

The new album from violinist Antoinette Lohmann and Furor Musicus presents the world premiere recordings of various Sonatas by Dutch composer Pieter Hellendaal.

The work of the Rotterdam-born Pieter Hellendaal (1721-1799) has so far not been widely played or recorded. Antoinette Lohmann and Furor Musicus, always on the lookout for rare repertoire, have now recorded a complete album of violin sonatas by Hellendaal, boasting as many as seven world premiere recordings, including a rousing hornpipe. This album is available in a hand-numbered edition limited to 1000 copies.

Antoinette Lohmann's previous album for Globe Records, Phantasia Musica (GLO 5265) has earned international critical acclaim. She is the principal teacher of the Historical Performance department in Utrecht and has a special interest in unusual instruments such as the viola d'amore, the tenor violin, the violino piccolo and the viola pomposa. Furor Musicus was founded by Antoinette in 2008.
