Based on a story from Ovid’s \u003cem data-start=\"778\" data-end=\"793\"\u003eMetamorphoses\u003c\/em\u003e, the work recounts the tragic myth of Ino, who flees her maddened husband Athamas after he kills one of their children. In desperation she leaps into the sea with her surviving son Melicertes, where they are transformed by sea nymphs into the gods Leukothea and Palaemon. The cantata is theatrical and emotionally intense, with a single soprano voice carrying the entire narrative across recitatives, arias, and dramatic orchestral interjections.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1282\" data-end=\"1795\"\u003eThe album also includes two double concertos, showcasing Telemann’s flair for unusual instrumental combinations. The Concerto in E minor for flute, violin and strings features a distinctive five-movement structure, blending French elegance, Italian virtuosity, and the composer’s gift for melodic invention. The Concerto for recorder, flute and strings highlights the contrasting colors of the older recorder and the brighter transverse flute, a pairing Telemann explored with particular creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-start=\"1797\" data-end=\"2097\"\u003eCompleting the program is a charming Sonata in G major for flute and violin from Telemann’s pioneering music periodical \u003cem data-start=\"1921\" data-end=\"1948\"\u003eDer getreue Music-Meister\u003c\/em\u003e (1728–29).
