Michala Petri - Michala Petri Plays Bach & Telemann (2018)

Michala Petri is one of few recorder players in the world to manage making a highly successful career as a soloist, recitalist, and chamber player. She often appears in concert with her husband, Lars Hannibal, a guitarist and lutenist. Petri's repertory is extensive, especially in the Baroque realm with works by J.S. Bach, Telemann, Vivaldi, Handel, Corelli, Sammartini, and many others. But she also plays music from later periods, including recorder concertos by Malcolm Arnold and contemporary Canadian composer Gary Kulesha, and more than 100 other works written specifically for her. In addition, she has regularly performed numerous transcriptions of compositions by Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Kreisler, and a spate by Scandinavian composers: Grieg, Alfven, Nielsen, Bull, and many others. Petri has made dozens of recordings spread over several labels, including Philips, RCA, Sony, Deutsche Grammophon, and her own label, OUR Recordings.
