After winning a Dutch radio prize, Thomas Triesschijn thought of realising a long-cherished dream: recording music for solo recorder and orchestra, in particular the famous Ouverture-Suite in A minor by Telemann. Taking this piece as a starting point and after doing some research, he stumbled upon the story of the four colleagues - Telemann, Fasch, Graupner and Bach - auditioning for the prestigious position of Thomascantor in Leipzig after the death of Johann Kuhnau in 1722. Through the music in this programme, Triesschijn invites you to share in a unique story of four dear friends and esteemed colleagues auditioning for the position of cantor at St. Thomas that Bach surprisingly got as fourth (!) choice. This was the position in which he would spend most of his career, composing masterpieces one after another. © Challenge Records
