The serenata Polifemo opens with an overture for which Bononcini adopts the formal model of the two-part French ouverture in which a slower section with dotted rhythms is followed by a quicker section often involving fugal textures. Bononcini combines his French model with the Italian concerto principle with its multiple choirs of instruments: here the wind ensemble alternates in the quick section with the strings. Although it is in only one act, Polifemo is made up of no fewer than twenty musical numbers: seventeen arias, two duets and one chorus. With a single exception, these numbers are cast in da capo form. Some have no instrumental prelude, whereas eight end with a postlude described as a “ritornello”, with elaborately worked-out parts for the instrumentalists. These postludes presumably allowed preparations to be made for the following action.

Dorothee Oberlinger's new album presents the rare baroque opera "Polifemo" by Giovanni Battista Bononcini (1670-1747). The renowned recorder player recorded this opera as conductor with her ensemble 1700 and outstanding soloists. "Polifemo" was first performed in 1702 in Lietzenburg Palace, later Charlottenburg Palace, the palace of Prussian Queen Sophie Charlotte. At that time Bononcini was the Queen's favourite composer. In "Polifemo" a one-eyed giant, a jealous sorceress and the goddess of love bring about miraculous transformations in the story based on Ovid's "Metamorphoses". The performance of "Polifemo" at the Potsdam Music Festival 2019 was highly praised:"The pretty, differentiated rhythmic music with its pleasing melodies in 20, sometimes short, sometimes very overflowing numbers is in the best hands with Dorothee Oberlinger and her powerfully colorful Ensemble 1700" (The world)
