Fortuna Scherzosa

“Fortuna scherzosa”, after Telemann’s eponymous cantata, provides the textual framework for the works recorded here: the subject matter is hope, yearning for fortune, fulfilment and non-fulfilment, happiness and suffering. With her pure, straight and flexible voice, Ina Siedlaczek expresses these diverse emotions with great authenticity. Her music-making is historically informed, free and relaxed. Ina Siedlaczek’s beautifully simple and natural interpretations are deeply moving, not least thanks to an audible match between her personal philosophy and the over-riding message of this SACD.
