Largo by August Kühnel (lute and viola da gamba)

[louisNEED]

one question .August Kuhnel was protestant?he was of amsterdam,thanks beautiful piece.

What a lovely playing of this serene piece ! Many thanks !!

Fantastic how you "discover" these forgotten composers.

Has the question of which composer ( Kuhnel or Johan Michael ) been resolved. Not that it is very important but still nice to know .

[ernststolz]

'Thanks for listening again! The composer question would need lots of research....

[tuuraatnva]

Yes, this is Johann Michael, his nephew!

Real beautiful piece and delightful playing!

[fredrikhildebrand]

This is not August Kühnel, but the later Johann Michael (probably the son or some other such relative). Just to clarify....

Nice playing, though! Always a striking combination of instruments, lute and viol together.

could be, I only have the facsimile page with the largo, without the composer's name. I should have to ask Trond for this...thanks

Thanks Vicente, this piece is a discovery of Trond, it is nice no?

[Gealach74]

Yes indeed! a nice discovery!

An obviously talented composer that I did not know. Thanks for this beautiful performance.

[ernststolz]

I think he is only know by gambists, (although this piece is chosen by Trond); thanks!

[MehdiCaps]

Anyway, Baroque music is such a vast estate, there is always something to learn... Yesterday, I discovered an awesome composer who died too young, Nicolaus Brühns (his church cantatas are gorgeous). And today, August Kühnel, thanks to you and Trond... More tomorrow, I guess. ;)
