Recorder virtuoso Jeremias Schwarzer is one of the world's leading ambassadors for his instrument. His collection of concertos composed between 2009 and 2021 reflects his persistent work in cultivating the repertoire for the recorder, which can be heard here in an unusual solo role. The four works are very different in character, but demonstrate the remarkable versatility of the recorder. They were recorded in live performances with well-known orchestras and equally well-known conductors: the Munich Chamber Orchestra under Alexander Liebreich, the SWR Symphony Orchestra under Rupert Huber, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra under Jonathan Stockhammer and the Ensemble Resonanz under Peter Rundel.
