About the album

These are all the original sonatas the great Telemann wrote for the recorder as a leading instrument, brought together on one album. The composer himself thought very highly of the recorder which he considered capable of musical expression at the highest artistic level. Some of these pieces belong to the best-loved in the instrument's repertoire. They all set a real challenge for the performer, calling for wide dynamic ranges and extreme virtuosity. English-born recorder virtuoso Robert Ehrlich made his recording debut on Globe to great critical acclaim from all over the world with Handel's recorder sonatas.These stylish and inspired performances will confirm his reputation as one of today's leading recorder players.
Stijlvolle en inspirerende Blokfluitsonates van Telemann
Georg Philipp Telemann werd tijdens zijn leven beschouwd als een van de grootste componisten van zijn tijd, misschien zelfs de grootste van allemaal. Hij was ook een van de meest productieve componisten aller tijden: zijn oeuvre omvat meer dan 3000 composities. De helft daarvan is echter verloren gegaan, en de meeste overgebleven werken worden sinds de 18e eeuw niet meer uitgevoerd.

Alle originele Blokfluitsonates van de grote Telemann zijn bijeengebracht op één album. De componist had de blokfluit in hoog aanzien, en beschouwde het als een instrument dat tot muzikale expressieve op het hoogste niveau in staat was. Enkele van zijn sonates behoren tot de meest geliefde werken uit het blokfluitrepertoire. Ze vormen allen een serieuze uitdaging voor de solist, die zich moet beroepen op een breed dynamisch bereik en extreme virtuositeit.

De in Engeland geboren blokfluitvirtuoos Robert Ehrlich werd door zijn opnames van Händels Blokfluitsonates toegejuicht door critici over de hele wereld. Deze stijlvolle en geïnspireerde uitvoeringen zullen zijn positie als vooraanstaande blokfluitist bevestigen!

Georg Philipp Telemann

Georg Philipp Telemann (14 March 1681 – 25 June 1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Almost completely self-taught in music, he became a composer against his family's wishes. After studying in Magdeburg, Zellerfeld, and Hildesheim, Telemann entered the University of Leipzig to study law, but eventually settled on a career in music. He held important positions in Leipzig, Sorau, Eisenach, and Frankfurt before settling in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of the city's five main churches. While Telemann's career prospered, his personal life was always troubled: his first wife died only a few months after their marriage, and his second wife had extramarital affairs and accumulated a large gambling debt before leaving Telemann. Telemann was one of the most prolific composers in history (at least in terms of surviving oeuvre) and was considered by his contemporaries to be...

Georg Philipp Telemann (14 March 1681 – 25 June 1767) was a German Baroque composer and multi-instrumentalist. Almost completely self-taught in music, he became a composer against his family's wishes. After studying in Magdeburg, Zellerfeld, and Hildesheim, Telemann entered the University of Leipzig to study law, but eventually settled on a career in music. He held important positions in Leipzig, Sorau, Eisenach, and Frankfurt before settling in Hamburg in 1721, where he became musical director of the city's five main churches. While Telemann's career prospered, his personal life was always troubled: his first wife died only a few months after their marriage, and his second wife had extramarital affairs and accumulated a large gambling debt before leaving Telemann.
Telemann was one of the most prolific composers in history (at least in terms of surviving oeuvre) and was considered by his contemporaries to be one of the leading German composers of the time—he was compared favorably both to his friend Johann Sebastian Bach, who made Telemann the godfather and namesake of his son Carl Philipp Emanuel, and to George Frideric Handel, whom Telemann also knew personally. Telemann's music incorporates several national styles (French, Italian) and is even at times influenced by Polish popular music. He remained at the forefront of all new musical tendencies and his music is an important link between the late Baroque and early Classical styles.
