Info for Telemann & Molter: Flute and Oboe Quartets

Court life in 17th and 18th century Germany provided a rich cultural climate: the countless Princes and Dukes competed each other in maintaining court orchestras of the highest caliber, fighting for the best musicians and composers. Both composers on this CD, Georg Philipp Telemann and Johann Melchior Molter, held the post of Kapellmeister at the court of Johann Wilhelm of Saxe-Eisenach, Molter being the successor of his illustrious colleague Telemann. The works presented here are Sonatas and Concertos a Quattro, chamber music for flute or oboe, violin, viola and basso continuo: music aimed to entertain the connoisseur, a happy blend of intellectual challenge and pure delight.The Camerata Bachiensis play on historical instruments, its leader Roberto de Franceschi playing both flute and oboe. They perform at all important Early Music Festivals, they won the 2013 Telemann Competition in Magdeburg, and are Ensemble-in-Residence in the Bach Museum Leipzig.

Camerata Bachiensis

Camerata Bachiensis
Established in 2012, Camerata Bachiensis is an Early Music ensemble based in Leipzig, Germany. Performing on period instruments, the group strives to offer historically-informed performances that preserve a dynamic, personal and spontaneous approach to Early Music-making.

Camerata Bachiensis' repertoire consists primarily of 18th century sacred and chamber music, written by Central German composers who were either connected with J. S. Bach or influenced by local music traditions. Discovering and performing the forgotten or unknown music of both famous and nameless composers is an important goal for the ensemble; as a result, conducting research in libraries and archives - especially in the regions of Central Germany and Berlin - is an indispensable part of their work together. Thank to their flexible instrumentation, Camerata Bachiensis offers repertoire ranging from trio sonatas to orchestral works and cantatas, emphasizing variety and colour in their musical programmes.

The ensemble has given concerts at important Early Music festivals, including Bachfest Leipzig, Göttingen International Handel Festival and Telemann-Festtage Magdeburg. In addition to its main activity in Germany, the group has performed in France, the Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic and Slovenia.

Camerata Bachiensis has obtained important recognition from numerous Early Music competitions. Since winning in 2013 the 7th International Telemann Competition (Magdeburg, Germany) and the 1st International 'Premio Selifa' (S. Ginesio, Italy), the ensemble has been awarded further accolades at the 6th International Graun Brothers Competition 2013 (Bad Liebenwerda, Germany), the International Van Wassenaer Concours 2014 (Utrecht, the Netherlands) and the Göttinger Reihe Historischer Musik 2014/2015 (Göttingen, Germany). In 2015, the group was selected for the eeemerging European Ensembles programme.

For the 2016/2017 season, the Bach-Museum Leipzig designated Camerata Bachiensis as its Ensemble-in-Residence. The group's first CD, featuring world premiere recordings of music by Johann Melchior Molter, will be released in 2016 by the Dutch label Brilliant Classics.
