Burlesque de Don Quixotte (Don Quixote Suite), TWV55
Tilting at windmills. The long-suffering Sancho Panza. Sighs of love for Dulcinea. The familiar and fanciful themes of the Don Quixote legend are brought to life by Apollo’s Fire in Telemann’s imaginative portrayal. The Don Quixote Suite sits alongside other suites and concertos by the composer that reveal his cosmopolitan air and whimsical nature.
Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) nie miał zostać muzykiem. Rodzina się temu sprzeciwiała, matka skonfiskowała mu wszystkie instrumenty. Mimo to został multiinstrumentalistą i jednym z najważniejszych i najbardziej płodnych kompozytorów epoki baroku. Napisał ponad trzy tysiące utworów. Miał kosmopolityczną naturę i wszechstronne zainteresowania. Stąd też w jego suitach pojawiają się najrozmaitsze wątki. I nie zabrakło w nich Don Kichota, który wzdychał do swej ukochanej Dulcynei i walczy z wiatrakami. Jeannette Sorrell ze swoim zespołem poprzez tę suitę oraz inne suity i koncerty obecne na płycie, buduje niezwykle interesujący portret muzyczny Telemanna. W pełni wykorzystuje tkwiącą w tej muzyce różnorodność. To wielobarwna, ciekawa płyta - choć z utworami tylko jednego kompozytora. Inspirujące.
