About
Graupner was a contemporary of Bach and Telemann, largely forgotten, but highly celebrated during his day.
What is significant in Graupner’s music is his exceptional command of melody and harmony, which are individual and unique.
A second volume of Graupner’s music will be released in 2014.

Awards and reviews
February 2014
The performances by the Finnish Baroque Orchestra are exemplary, the mood benign and unhurried to match the music, and every player of every unusually featured instrument...calmly taking their opportunity to make a colourful contribution while remaining firmly part of the team.
13th January 2014
It's with a dignified detachment - yet every technical competence - that Kaakinen-Pilch presents this music. Neither Graupner nor his music needs to 'shout'...This CD certainly demonstrates that Graupner possesses more than his fair share of originality, ingenuity and freshness.
Early Music Today
The three suites presented on this disc abound with instrumental variety: the sonorities of the chalumeau intertwine with the viola d’amore and the transverse flute with the baroque horn, realised by the lively playing of the Finnish Baroque Orchestra.
