Johan Helmich Roman is called the “Father of Swedish music” and also the “Swedish Handel”. And with good reason, as his instrumental works match Handel’s chamber music in charm, virtuosity formal structure and tunefulness. There is no better advocate for these somewhat neglected works than Jed Wentz and his musical companions of Musica ad Rhenum. They are thoroughly aware of the stylistic details of the music and its performance.Included are liner notes by Jed Wentz.
