About the album

Schitterende onbekende werken van Telemann
Er zijn weinig componisten die zo geëerd werden tijdens hun leven als Georg Philipp Telemann. Vooral de natuurlijkheid van zijn composities en hun toegankelijkheid voor een groot publiek werden breed gewaardeerd door zijn tijdgenoten, onder wie Johann Sebastian Bach. Telemanns geweldige gevoel voor instrumentatie en geluidstexturen heeft geresulteerd in zeer ongewone combinaties van solo-instrumenten. Voorbeelden daarvan zijn het Concerto voor dwarsfluit, viola d’amore en oboe d’amore en het Concerto à 9 met een verrassende combinatie instrumenten van de piccolo tot aan twee contrabassen. Les Elements Amsterdam heeft gekozen voor vijf schitterende en totaal onbekende werken uit het enorme repertoire waarmee Telemann de muziekgeschiedenis heeft verrijkt.

Kamerorkest Les Elements Amsterdam werd in 1993 opgericht door Alda Stuurop, Jacques Ogg en anderen en bestaat uit leden van belangrijke barok ensembles zoals het Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century en La Petite Bande. Omdat het orkest bestaat uit barokspecialisten die bijna allemaal ook een solocarrière hebben, zijn alle soloconcerten uitgevoerd door solisten die tot de kern van het ensemble behoren. Onder hen bevinden zich beroemde musici als fluitisten Wilbert Hazelzet en Ricardo Kanji, hoboïst Ku Ebbinge, fagotspeelster Donna Agrell, cellist Richte van der Meer, violiste Alda Stuurop en klavecimbelspeler Jacques Ogg als leider. Het ensemble heeft als doel om het repertoire uit te breiden met werken die onterecht zijn genegeerd. Op dit album staan wat van die werken; het zijn uitmuntende uitvoeringen in een geweldige sound. Een prachtig eerbetoon aan de anders vergeten composities van Georg Philipp Telemann.

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.
