These are all the original sonatas the great Telemann wrote for the recorder as a leading instrument, brought together on one album. The composer himself thought very highly of the recorder which he considered capable of musical expression at the highest artistic level. Some of these pieces belong to the best-loved in the instrument's repertoire. They all set a real challenge for the performer, calling for wide dynamic ranges and extreme virtuosity. English-born recorder virtuoso Robert Ehrlich made his recording debut on Globe to great critical acclaim from all over the world with Handel's recorder sonatas.These stylish and inspired performances will confirm his reputation as one of today's leading recorder players.
