Dorothee Oberlinger brought another musical treasure to light last year at the Potsdam Music Festival. "I Portentosi Effetti della madre Natura by Giuseppe Scarlatti had its premiere in the then brand-new Palace Theatre of the New Palace in Sanssouci - with resounding success. Some 250 years later, the work, which stylistically seems to have been written five minutes before Mozart, with a mix of great seria arias and rousing folk echoes, experienced its celebrated resurrection as a production of the Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci with the Ensemble 1700 and singers under the artistic direction of Dorothee Oberlinger. The production accompanying the performances will now be released as a world premiere recording on 9 June as a co-production with Musikfestspiele Potsdam and rbb Kultur on the deutsche harmonia mundi label.
Ausgezeichnet mit einem Echo Klassik 2008 als »Instrumentalistin des Jahres« begeistert die Meisterin der Blockflöte immer mehr Menschen für dieses Instrument. Und in den Medien nicht nur die Fachpresse. Die Zeitschrift Brigitte etwa schrieb über sie: »Dorothee Oberlinger spielt mit einer Virtuosität und Bandbreite an Klangfarben, wie man sie niemals von diesem Instrument erwartet hätte.« Auf ihrer neuen CD präsentiert die Künstlerin Werke von Telemann, begleitet vom Ensemble 1700. In Telemanns außerordentlich umfangreichem Werk findet sich ein großes Repertoire für Blockflöte. Die hier eingespielten Werke, eine Solofantasie sowie Solo- und Triosonaten, stellen einen exemplarischen Ausschnitt aus Telemanns Flötenkammermusik dar und spiegeln die gesamte Bandbreite seines kompositorischen Schaffens wider.
