The Hamburger Ratsmusik - an ensemble looking back on a five-hundred-year history - teams up with the young countertenor Benno Schachtner on this recording of Georg Philipp Telemann's Six Moral Cantatas. During the decades between 1720 and 1750 the middle class of the early Enlightenment sought moral education and ethical improvement deriving from human nature and reason as part of it's never-ending quest for earthly happiness. It was with wit and charm that in his Moral Cantatas of 1735 Telemann set to music a poetic document conveying the spirit of this Enlightenment period. His only recently rediscovered Fantasies for Solo Viola da Gamba, published at the same time, are presented here in alternation with his Moral Cantatas, the title with which they were announced in a catalogue dating from August 1735. These two collections first performed together during a concert of the Hamburger Ratsmusik at the last Telemann Festival are now being presented here for the first time. These two works by Telemann were intended for professional and amateur musicians alike, and they seem to have met with special resonance among those interested parties who wanted to perform at home in smaller ensembles.

After Telemann had composed the InchFrench Cycle,Inch he wrote his annual cycle for 1716/17 in the Italian style, the other style then current in the music world. This style is characterized by the Inchkonzertierendes Prinzip,Inch that is, by the seemingly playful and relaxed but nonetheless finely organized treatment of motifs and themes manifesting itself in the instrumental concerto but also in the great opera aria. Telemann's cycle in which he employed the stylistic elements developed in Italy was therefore termed the InchConcerten-JahrgangInch and sometimes even the InchItalian Cycle.Inch In 1716/17 Telemann composed and performed the church compositions from Advent to the Third Day of Pentecost. The second half of the annual cycle extending from Trinity Sunday to the end of the church year followed in 1719/20. The present brings together four compositions, two from the first half of the annual cycle and two from the subsequently composed second half. The Inchkonzertierendes PrinzipInch is developed in different ways in each piece. This performance with the Mannheimer Hofkapelle and Ex Tempore under Florian Heyerick was one of the highlights of the Telemann Festival Days in 2016. Album Tracks 1. Aller Augen Warten Auf Dich 2.
