Die Kreuzworträtselknacker

Telemann World-Premiere Recordings. Between 1717 and 1765 Georg Philipp Telemann composed more than 1, 700 cantatas for performance on all the Sundays of the church year. Some dozen annual cycles from his period as music director in Frankfurt am Main and above all those from his Hamburg years have come down to us. In quantitative terms, the four Sundays of Advent and the three days of Christmas are the most strongly represented – with almost about two hundred cantatas. Apart from the cantatas for solo voice and solo instrument with basso continuo from his anthology Harmonischer Gottesdienst of 1725, only a few compositions for larger ensembles from this treasure trove have been edited and recorded. This album features four cantatas by Telemann that may be regarded as world-premiere recordings. They are musical gems that impress us with their melodic originality and musical character and even after more than 250 years are very much worth being performed again!

Das Album erschien – jeweils verpackt in einer Stahlbox – als Doppel-CD- und limitiertes 5-fach-Vinyl-Album. In der Stahlbox ist eine ä-förmige Auslassung eingestanzt. Durch „Umsortieren“ der CD-Sleeves bzw. der LPs erscheint das „ä“ entweder rot oder grün (Booklet), weiß oder gelb (CD 1), schwarz oder blau (CD 2) durch die Auslassung. Auf der ersten CD befinden sich – chronologisch sortiert – alle 23 Singles der Band seit 1993. Da mit Quark / Kopfüber in die Hölle und Komm zurück / Die Banane zwei Doppel-A-Seiten-Singles vertreten sind, ergibt dies 25 Tracks. Quark ist der einzige Track, der nicht in der (textlich veränderten) Single-Version enthalten ist, sondern in der Album-Version.
