With “WUNDERKAMMER,” award-winning recorder player Max Volbers and the internationally acclaimed period-instrument ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro open the door to Georg Philipp Telemann’s musical treasure trove. Conducting the ensemble himself, Volbers presents Telemann as a fascinating musical chameleon, blending French elegance, Italian brilliance and vibrant Eastern European dance rhythms. Rarely heard gems meet one of the most important 18th-century works for recorder – the monumental Suite in A minor. A special highlight is the “Hanakian Dance,” in which Volbers combines Telemann’s music with his own compositions to create something entirely new. Vibrant, virtuosic and bursting with musical energy, “WUNDERKAMMER” brings Telemann’s astonishing musical universe vividly to life.
