Georg Philipp Telemann was not only the most prolific composer for recorder in musical history, but certainly also the most important. The maestro from Magdeburg wrote hundreds of pieces for recorder: chamber music, arias in cantatas and Passions, double concertos, two solo concertos, and a solo suite.

In addition to playing violin and harpsichord, it is known that Telemann was an excellent recorder player, which is very obvious from his compositional style. He exploits the whole spectrum of the instrument’s virtuoso possibilities.

Telemann’s musical oeuvre for recorder is permeated by a constant search for variety and innovation, which can found in this exellent recording.

In 2008 Dorothee Oberlinger was awarded the coveted music prize “Echo Klassik” as “Instrumentalist of the Year”.

She holds a professorship at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, where she is head of the Institute for Early Music. Lorenzo Cavasanti is on the faculty of the Conservatorio di Musica Claudio Monteverdi in Bolzano.
