The trio sonatas by Telemann were already regarded by his contemporaries as “models of their kind”, they demonstrate Telemann’s imaginative composing style. Compagnia Transalpina under the direction of Andreas Böhlen highlights the colourful partnership of recorder and oboe.
The upper parts are complimented by a rich bass line combining bassoon, cello and harpsichord. Sumptuous ornamentation is applied to the upper lines, inspired by Telemann’s own writing, resulting in dynamic and flamboyant ensemble playing.
Recorder player and jazz-saxophonist Andreas Böhlen, professor for recorder at the renowned Schola Cantorum in Basel, Switzerland, has combined forces on this recording with leading baroque oboist Andreas Helm, professor in Vienna.

Onward and upward! Andreas Böhlen’s interpretation of Giuseppe Sammartini’s rarely played recorder sonatas (Vol.1, released in 2020) was not only veritably celebrated in the early music scene, but he has now even been appointed professor at the world famous Schola Cantorum in Basel (Switzerland). Listeners can therefore expect the highest standards from this second and final volume of Sammartini’s sonatas.

Das Orchester von Händels Opernunternehmen am King’s Theatre bestand aus herausragenden Musikern, darunter auch der gebürtige Mailänder Giuseppe Sammartini (1695-1750), für den London ebenfalls zur neuen Heimat wurde. Hier reüssierte er nicht nur als Oboenvirtuose, sondern auch als Komponist. Der sonst eher kritische Charles Burney lobte seine Musik voller Kunstfertigkeit, Originalität und Feuer . Angesichts ihrer Originalität und Qualität, die sich u.a. durch eine tiefe Emotionalität und sogar bizarre Überraschungen auszeichnet, ist es schon verwunderlich, dass einige der Sonaten von Andreas Böhlen im Rahmen dieser Gesamteinspielung auf AEOLUS zum ersten Mal eingespielt wurden.
