Info for Telemann: Frankfurt Violin Sonatas

Gottfried von der Goltz, first violin and conductor of the first-rate Freiburger Barockorchester comes back with a new album dedicated to the violin sonatas of a young - and already brilliant - Telemann. Rarely recorded, these works show a very surprising form as they allow the musician total freedom of expression and ornamentation. These features demonstrate also the unique creative inventiveness already in germ in Telemann’s music.

Telemann, a deep connoisseur of French an Italian tastes, puts a great delicacy in these sonatas (Francfort, 1715) as he deploys a quite outstanding melodic line and announces the galant style to come. With this release, Gottfried von der Goltz stands as an expert in Telemann as he provides an interpretation that reflects the main features of his works: vibrant and subtle.

"Von der Goltz and friends deliver performances of technical brilliance, stylistic grace and deep empathy." (Sunday Times)

Gottfried von der Goltz
has established himself in the international music scene as a Baroque violinist and as one of the Artistic Directors of the Freiburger Barockorchester (FBO). As common in the 18th century, he leads the FBO from the position of the concertmaster.

His repertoire ranges from early Baroque to contemporary music, illustrated by a broad discography, which shows him as a tremendously versatile and flexible musician: as soloist and as orchestra director. Most notably, Gottfried von der Goltz has gained a reputation as a specialist in the music of the long-forgotten Dresden Baroque and of the four Bach sons.

In addition to his engagement with the FBO Gottfried von der Goltz regularly performs as guest director and soloist with the Berliner Barocksolisten, the Württembergisches Kammerorchester Heilbronn, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra (hr-Sinfonieorchester), the Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and others. For a couple of years he has worked closely together with the Norsk Barokkorchester serving as their Artistic Director.

Gottfried von der Goltz is also dedicated to performing chamber music in various formations. As Professor for Baroque and modern violin he is a popular teacher at the University of Music in Freiburg.
