Content

Christmas flute sounds

Who would want to miss them in Advent, the shepherds’ flutes that rock the baby Jesus to sleep? From Handel to his teacher Zachow, from Bach to his friend Telemann, Michael Hell weaves a web of pastoral, Christmas flute sounds around the nativity scene in Bethlehem. The Fourth Brandenburg Concerto may also have originated as Chistmas shepherd music.
