Led by oboist and recorder player Carin van Heerden, L’Orfeo Wind Ensemble’s third volume of works for winds by Telemann surveys the composer’s Harmoniemusik – the genre for wind ensembles entrusted with military, hunting, and table music. The program features three overture suites for two oboes and two corni da caccia — one of which includes the addition of bassoon; a pair of trio sonatas for two oboes and continuo; ands a march for two horns, three oboes, bassoon, and percussion. The album’s insightful liner notes by German musicologist Wolfgang Hirschmann details the provenance of each work, in some cases, tying the composition to its specific historical occasion.
