Mullov-Abbado – Zabel – Matthews
On the occasion of Telemann’s 250th anniversary of death in 2017 the City Music Foundation, London, has commissioned twelve contemporary pieces for me, each based on one of the Fantasias. All of these freshly-penned pieces are reflections on thematic, harmonic or rhythmic material taken from the Fantasias – a (re) interpretation of musical ideas, a reply to Telemann’s musical thoughts.
This recording aims not only at documenting the ever-expanding repertoire for solo recorder, but also at showcasing so-far unheard of ways of listening to seemingly ‘old’ music. It strives to demonstrate the continuous relevance of Telemann’s music in general and his twelve Fantasias for solo flute, in particular.
Anlässlich des 250. Todestages Telemanns im Jahr 2017 hat Tabea Debus, unterstützt durch die Londoner City Music Foundation, zu jeder der "XII Fantasie per il Flauto senza Basso" eine Auftragskomposition vergeben. Jedes dieser zwölf neuen Stücke für Blockflöte solo baut dabei auf thematisches, harmonisches oder rhythmisches Material einer der Fantasien Telemanns auf, spinnt musikalische Ideen weiter, vertieft sie oder interpretiert sie neu.
