Deutsche Sagen

Jan Nigges is the flutist of the young ensemble "Four Times Baroque", which won an Opus-Klassik prize as newcomer of the year for its first album on the German harmonia mundi label. For this recording on dhm he has joined forces with an ensemble of musician friends and the soprano Sibylla Elsing to record works by Telemann, Handel, Fasch and Pez From Georg Friedrich Telemann (1681-1767) they chose the entertaining seven-part Overture (Suite) in A minor for recorder, strings and basso continuo, which is followed by the aria "Oh wer kann von Liebe sagen" for soprano and recorder from the cantata "Darin ist erschienen die Liebe Gottes" sung by Sibylla Elsing. The recorder concerto in F major by Johann Friedrich Fasch (1688-1758), discovered only a few years ago, and the Concerto Pastorale in F major for two recorders, strings and basso continuo by Johann Christoph Pez (1664-1716) are a discovery. The recorder played by Jan Nigges is also the partner of the soprano in two further arias: "Va godendo vezzoso e bello" from the opera "Xerxes" by Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759) as well as "Mich tröstt die Hoffnung" from Telemann's opera "Der geduldige Sokrates"
