As a protagonist of Ancient Music or a compulsory part of elementary school education – the recorder is a familiar, albeit unpopular instrument. When Dorothee Oberlinger, however, plays her often underrated instrument, it shines as a glamorous soloist. The virtuoso musician owns approximately one hundred recorders of all sizes, brilliantly rendering a diverse repertoire ranging from medieval times to contemporary pieces. Together with Anna Friederike Potengowski, a specialist in prehistorical bone flutes, the

percussionist Georg Wieland Wagner and the ensemble l’arte del mondo, she has put together a breath-taking kaleidoscope of sound over the course of human history. This also includes the history of the recorder and flute – human breath transformed into sound through the ages.
