Paris 1733. The performance of a tragédie en musique in five acts, depicting the love story of Hippolyte, the son of Theseus, and Aricia, the daughter of a hostile royal family, heralded a new phase in the life of Jean-Philippe Rameau. All of a sudden the 50-year old Rameau from Dijon was the talk of town and was consequently celebrated as the most significant opera composer of his day. His work Hippolyte et Aricie was repeatedly performed in 1742 and 1757. New dances were included in the later versions, performed as an orchestral suite in this programme. Storms at sea, menacing sea monsters and the appearance of sea gods are topics set to exquisite music.

„Spick and span“ is how the hautboy players were described as they preceded the Frankfurt artilleries in 1716. Apparently they played a march by Georg Philipp Telemann especially composed for the occasion. These regimental hautboy players didn’t only play during military parades though but also entertained their audiences with the finest art music for 2 oboes, 2 horns and bassoon. The programme otherwise focuses on works from Telemann’s Hamburg period. In Hamburg he enjoyed a high reputation and was exceedingly active. Works by his Hamburg colleagues Reinhard Keiser, Johann Mattheson and Conrad Friedrich Hurlebusch are also included.
