A MEETING IN HAMBURG
El Festival Internacional de Música Antigua de Tenerife (Fimante) presents A meeting in Hamburg.
This is the programme Pere Ros is bringing to Fimante 2018. It includes two valuable creations composed in Hamburg in the 18th century: the fantasies for solo viola da gamba by the music director of the city, Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) and a viola da gamba of the performer’s own collection, built in 1699 by Hamburger luthier Joachim Tielke (1641-1719).
The programme consists of a selection of some of the twelve fantasies, which in 1735 were dedicated to Hamburg financier Pierre Chaunell, the son of French Huguenots who had sought refuge in the city; also, the works by some of his contemporary (J. Schenk, M. Marais, L. de Caix d'Hervelois, J. S. Bach, or C. F. Abel) provide the framework for these fantasies in order to establish formal links with them.
Joachim Tielke’s instrument (Hamburg, 1699) is mentioned in HELLWIG, Günther: Joachim Tielke, ein Lauten - und Violenmacher aus der Barockzeit (Frankfurt, 1980) and in HELLWIG, Friedemann und Barbara: Joachim Tielke; kunstvolle Musikinstrumente des Barock (Benin, 2011). The last refurbishment was carried out by Christian Brosse, Bostorf/Germany, in 1988. Many recordings are proof of the sound quality of the instrument, which appeared between 1990 and 2014 in Melisma-Verlag (VViesbaden) and Arsis (Huesca).
Tickets will be on sale soon.
As a sign of respect for the audience and the performers, children under 5 are not admitted.
