This new release is the third new recording by recorder phenomenon Erik Bosgraaf of music by Georg Philipp Telemann, as a preparation for the Telemann-year 2017, when the musical world will celebrate the composer's 250th birthday. This recording contains the double concertos with recorder: for two recorders or in combination with traverso, bassoon or viola da gamba. Telemann himself was a professional recorder player. These concertos contain some of his most personal music, his usual brilliance, wit, and virtuosity alternate with passages of deep emotion and melancholy. Erik Bosgraaf is one of the most remarkable recorder players of today. Equally at home in early as well as contemporary music he extends the limits of his instrument, achieving an extreme range of expression and unheard-of effects.
