Quantz is an ass invites listeners on an imagined journey through the musical world of Frederick the Great’s court, brought to life by the members of the ensemble Apollo’s Cabinet. Framed as a fictional celebration at the king’s court, the album’s programme features works by Johann Gottlieb Graun, Johann Joachim Quantz, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Adolph Hasse and Georg Philipp Telemann. Together, these works reveal the splendour, wit, and emotional depth of one of Europe’s most fascinating musical courts.
