TELEMANN: Fantasien For Recorder Solo [CD de audio] Erik Bosgraaf and Telemann

Erik Bosgraaf (born 1980) is considered one of the most gifted and versatile recorder virtuosos of a new generation. He has already celebrated successes with his recording of works by composer Jacob van Eyck for Brilliant Classics . With this recording, he combines the solo flute repertoire of the German Baroque with a great combination of works that, of course, complement each other, but which until now were not available as a whole on CD. For works as monophonic as those selected here, with all their fun hidden in the intertwined harmonies, it is inevitable to perform with a melodic imagination that captures the ear. And Telemann's creativity in this field is legendary. He himself pointed out that he who plays the instruments must also be able to sing. And I would be sure to be skeptical of Bach's much more complex counterpoint studies. Telemann's twelve fantasies are all collections of short phrases: he recognized this form as perfect for his musical genius. And in these structures he was able to express himself in all the musical and stylistic fashions of his time, from Poland to France.
