Maria Fedotova, one of the most sought-after Russian flautists, performs as a soloist in the orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre St. Petersburg under Valery Gergiev and teaches at St. Petersburg Conservatory. With this release, Fedotova dedicates herself to the Fantasies by Georg Philipp Telemann. This cycle counts among the first major compositions of the Baroque era for this instrument, combining melodic as well as harmonic elements into a single linear, monophonic voice.
