Featuring horn, oboe, violin, and harpsichord, this musical ride through the European countryside echoes with the thundering hooves and spirited chase of the hunt. Stölzel’s Sonata sets the scene with its evocative simplicity, capturing the essence of the outdoors. The complexity of the music then intensifies with works by Telemann and Fasch, mirroring the excitement and intensity of the hunt, while paying homage to the horn’s crucial role in signaling and guiding the pursuit.
