Janitsch Church Sonatas CD
We at the Berlin Friday Academy worked on the production of a second CD of Johann Gottlob Janitsch's trio sonata output. After winning a grant from the Berlin government, we set out recording some of the most beautiful music written by the composer during the 1740s. This CD is a real jewellery box of gems in which we not only explored the premiere recordings of these works, but also through the use of Princess Armilea of Prussia's organ - and instrument which lived a few streets away from Janitsch's front door. The work was released 2022.

Janitsch Trio Sonatas CD
Our first CD at the Berlin Friday Academy explored the work of little known composer Janitsch. Funding the work through crowed sources and the American Flute Society, we recorded music from this composer defining the best of Berlin's chamber music from Janitsch's weekly Friday Academies. This CD was a pleasure to record. We explored pitch of Berlin's chamber music of this period (392Hz), as well as consulting the instruments and treatises of the players from the city. The work was released 2021.
