About the album

Born in Amsterdam in 1957, Peter Holtslag studied recorder at the conservatory of his native city where he was recipient of the Recorder Soloist Diploma with Distinction. At the early age of 26, he was appointed Professor of Early Music and Recorder at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. Since 1988, he has held simular posts at the Royal Academy of Music London and at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg. Apart from these regular teaching activities he has given numerous masterclasses in Holland, England, Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Portugal, Belgium, Hong Kong and the USA. As a soloist and with the recorder trio
La Fontegara Amsterdam, his repertoire ranges from 14th century music to avant-garde pieces (many of which have been written especially for either himself or La Fontegara Amsterdam). Referring to his recording of the major Vivaldi recorder concertos (on Hyperion, 1988) he was singled out by 'Gramophone' as "a new recorder virtuoso with more imagination than some". A second solo album, with concertos by Telemann (Hyperion, 1991) classified him as "an accomplished soloist with acute sensibilities" ('Gramophone').
Een verrukkelijk album vol betoverende verrassingen
De extreem beroemde Twaalf Fantasia’s van Georg Philipp Telemann kunnen zowel op flauto traverso, viool of blokfluit uitgevoerd worden, aangezien de componist het instrument waarvoor hij de werken schreef niet specificeerde. In de eerste helft van de 18e eeuw was het gebruikelijk om fluitrepertoire uit te voeren op een blokfluit. Dit wordt beschreven en uitgelegd door Hotteterre en Quantz. Er zijn echter nauwelijks opnames beschikbaar waarop de complete set op de blokfluit wordt uitgevoerd, ook al is dit vandaag de dag nog steeds een van de meest populaire instrumenten.

De Fantasia’s worden uitgevoerd door Peter Holtslag, een van de meest vooraanstaande blokfluitisten van zijn generatie. De meeste Fantasia’s worden gespeeld op een originele blokfluit van circa 1700, die bewaard wordt in de beroemde Bates Collection in Oxford. Volgens Holtslag was het zeer uitzonderlijk dat dit instrument aan hem werd uitgeleend. Hij redt de klank van het instrument dus van de anonimiteit! Het staat vast dat iedereen van Holtslags interpretatie van deze muzikale pareltjes zal genieten. Bovendien is Telemann op dit moment in de mode… Dit is een verrukkelijk album vol met onverwachte verrassingen, dat elke Barok- en blokfluitliefhebber zal betoveren!

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.

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.
