Pastorelle en musique (Opera / Serenata, 1704). Capriccio
71 054/55 (2 CDs, September 2005).

Doerthe Maria Sandmann, soprano; Iris: Bernarda Fink, contralto;
Amynthas: Lydia Vierlinger, contralto; Knirfix: Bernhard
Berchtold, tenor; Damon: Mathias Hausmann, bass. The first
recording of Telemann's earliest surviving opera, which is based
on Molière. Favorably reviewed in the December 2005 issue of
Early Music Review by Brian Clark, who is to be commended
for condemning Capriccio's current practice of superimposing
tiny type in the libretto over black-and-white background images
of the cover graphics, rendering it completely unreadable by
those of us over 45.

Hungaroton SLPD 12957/61 (5 LPs) & HCD 12957/60 (4 CDs 1987).

Gregor, Rodisette: Éva Vámossy, Edronica: Katlalin Farkas,
Xantippe: Éva Bártfai-Barta, Amitta: Júlia Pászthy, Melito: Guy
de Mer, Antippo: Paul Esswood, Nicia: István Gáti, Aristophanes:
Gábor Kállay, Pitho: Martin Kleitmann. Based on a 17th Century
Italian libretto, mostly translated into German, with additions,
this opera was a showcase for Telemann when he joined the
Hamburg Opera. See my comments under Damon. There
probably is more diversity of musical style in Socrates
than in the life work of Handel, with French dances, comic duos
and arias, ie "Ein Mädchen und ein Gläschen Wein", and serious
Italian arias. At the same time, Telemann regularly set
traditional Lutheran chorales in his sacred works.

| Telemann. Damon - Der neumodische
Liebhaber Damon oder Die Satyrn in Arkadien (The Newfangled

1997). Michael Schneider,
La Stagione
Frankfurt. Tyrsis: Mechthild Georg, Mirtilla: Ann Monoyios,
Elpina: Camille van Lunen, Laurindo: Gotthold Schwarz, Ergasto:
Carl-Christof Gebhardt, Damon: Michael Schopper, Hippo: Erik
Biegel, Nigella: Stefanie Smits. This is one of my favorite
recordings -- a winner in every major respect: quality of music,
performance, and recording. There are much greater and readily
apparent differences between Damon and Socrates
than between any two Handel operas. Handel borrowed
relentlessly, particularly later in his career, but he reworked
borrowed ideas in his characteristic style. Telemann, on the
other hand, composed French music that might have been composed
by a French composer, and Italian music that might have been
composed by an Italian. He seems to have borrowed styles of
composition rather than musical phrases. Thus, for example,
Damon begins with a violin concerto. The first and second
movements seem heavily influenced by Vivaldi's L'Estro Armonico,
but the third movement is a minuet that sounds like Handel,
interrupted by a more purely French bourée, and ending with a
reprise of the minuet. While Socrates is dominated by duos of
both comic and serious characters singing a third apart, there
are few if any duos in Damon. Furthermore, the principal
character, a bass in both operas, is serious in Socrates and
comic in Damon, and this is communicated clearly through the
music as well as the words.

Telemann.
Pastorelle en musique (Opera / Serenata, 1704). Capriccio
71 054/55 (2 CDs, September 2005).
Details (pdf). Kirill Karabits, Capella Leopoldina. Celiste:
Doerthe Maria Sandmann, soprano; Iris: Bernarda Fink, contralto;
Amynthas: Lydia Vierlinger, contralto; Knirfix: Bernhard
Berchtold, tenor; Damon: Mathias Hausmann, bass. The first
recording of Telemann's earliest surviving opera, which is based
on Molière. Favorably reviewed in the December 2005 issue of
Early Music Review by Brian Clark, who is to be commended
for condemning Capriccio's current practice of superimposing
tiny type in the libretto over black-and-white background images
of the cover graphics, rendering it completely unreadable by
those of us over 45.
