Divertissements (Camerata Köln) (2005)

Camerata Köln speelt op 1 maart 2017 de Sonate à 4 in D van Sebastian Bodinus in het Muziekcentrum in Enschede. Het ensemble nam de sonate eerder al op, zoals te horen op deze CD. "Germany's CPO label specializes in intensive explorations of little-known repertory, and its efforts pay off with this highly enjoyable disc of chamber music from Telemann's era. Sebastian Bodinus is still lost in the miasma of history, known mostly through his music and not much even that way. These are innovative works for a mixed group of instruments with continuo. The surprising instrumental effects bring Telemann to mind. Listen to the first movement of the Sonata I in D major from the sixth part of Bodinus' publication of "divertissements" (track 10) and note how the recorder sets off the unusual tempo shift after the main material has been introduced. It's very attractive and ingratiating, and there's a level of invention that puts Bodinus above the level of a mere imitator." (James Manheim, Allmusic; 4,5 uit 5 sterren)
