Guido Ivessich, creator of this site, and Benedek Csalog, baroque flautist specialized in the performance of Quantz\u2019s music (and not only), decided to begin a new collaboration to spread Quantz\u2019s music.<\/p>\n

Benedek Csalog and The Quantz Project<\/p>\n

Benedek Csalog, an internationally acclaimed Hungarian baroque flute player,\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

belongs among Europe\u2019s distinguished specialists in historical performance practice. A graduate of the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague, where he studied with Barthold Kuijken, he won first prizes at major early music competitions, including Musica Antiqua Bruges and the National Flute Association Baroque Flute Artist Competition in Orlando, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n

As a soloist and chamber musician, he has appeared at many of Europe\u2019s leading early music festivals and has worked with some of the most iconic figures of the early music scene. His discography includes recordings for labels such as Hungaroton, Ram\u00e9e, BIS, Raumklang and Brilliant Classics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2017, Benedek Csalog founded The Quantz Project, a long-term artistic and scholarly initiative dedicated to the works of Johann Joachim Quantz. The project\u2019s central aim is to record Quantz\u2019s complete surviving oeuvre \u2014 more than 650 compositions \u2014 and to make this remarkable repertoire more widely known to performers, scholars and listeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project website (https:\/\/the-quantz-project.com\/<\/a>) brings together recordings, historical manuscript sources, links to modern editions, and other materials related to Quantz\u2019s music. Since most of Quantz\u2019s works survive in high-quality contemporary manuscript copies, many of them held at the Berlin State Library, the project also serves as a valuable resource for musicians seeking direct access to the original sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major new chapter began when the Dutch label Brilliant Classics (https:\/\/www.brilliantclassics.com\/<\/a>) joined the project and undertook the publication of a substantial part of the repertoire, including around 200 flute sonatas, on CD and digital platforms. The first volume of the series has already been released, with further albums to follow (https:\/\/www.brilliantclassics.com\/articles\/q\/quantz-complete-flute-sonatas-volume-1\/<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Quantz Project and Armonia Antiqua share a common commitment to making Quantz\u2019s music more accessible. While The Quantz Project focuses on recordings, sources and documentation, Armonia Antiqua provides complete and carefully prepared modern editions of Quantz\u2019s works, offering performers an essential practical gateway into this rich and still insufficiently explored repertoire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, these initiatives contribute to a renewed appreciation of Quantz not only as a central figure of eighteenth-century flute culture, but also as a composer whose music deserves a far more prominent place in today\u2019s early music world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
