Description
Three (3) CD Set including:
1) Georg Philipp Telemann, Concerti-en-Suite; Tempesta di Mare (2018). Expert in baroque repertoire and making period discoveries, the Philadelphia-based ensemble Tempesta di Mare extends the commemoration of the 250th anniversary of Telemannís death with this unique album played on historically authentic instruments. This recording is the first to bring together Telemannís three surviving concerti-en-suite, from the intimate Concerto di camera to the more extravagant and impressive Concerto-Suites.
2) J.S. Bach, Six Trio Sonatas re-imagined for chamber instruments, Tempesta di Mare (2014). Bach compiled his set of six trio sonatas for organ during the late 1720s. They are thought to have been put together as training material for Bachís son Wilhelm Friedemann and can be grouped among other pedagogical keyboard collections such as the Inventions and the Well-Tempered Clavier. They are unique, however, in transferring the typical trio sonata texture, a popular style normally played by ensemble, to a single instrument. In Bachís originals the right and left hands take the top two parts while the pedals perform the bass line. Tempesta di Mare Chamber Players have re-imagined these works in arrangements for ensemble, using scorings typically adopted in the performance of trio sonatas in Bachís time.
3) Alessandro Scarlatti, Cantatas and Chamber Music, Clara Rottsolk, soprano, and Tempesta di Mare. Tempesta di Mare, the Chamber Players from the Philadelphia Baroque Orchestra, have chosen cantatas by Alessandro Scarlatti which best show the range of invention for one voice and a small complement of players. Scarlattiís speciality was the cantata, the operatic equivalent of the short story, in which music and narrative are distilled to their core, resulting in beautiful and moving but succinct multi-movement vocal works. Tempesta di Mare have programmed four rarely performed Scarlatti cantatas and invited the soprano Clara Rottsolk to join them. The disc is completed with a Concerto thought to date from the end of Scarlattiís career.
