Yes, this is Johann Michael, his nephew!
Real beautiful piece and delightful playing!

This is not August Kühnel, but the later Johann Michael (probably the son or some other such relative). Just to clarify....
Nice playing, though! Always a striking combination of instruments, lute and viol together.

So I am not suere....
