Description
This pioneering complete recording of George Philipp Telemann's violin concertos on historical instruments continues with seven further works. These concertos present Telemann as a virtuosic musician, and shed new and fascinating light on one of our most treasured Baroque composers. The first volume was greatly praised: \In this, the first disc in a series covering the violin concertos of Telemann (of which there are twenty), we have cause for rejoicing. These performances are so fine, and this music so appealing and elegant, that I immediately listened to the entire disc through a second time.... rare praise indeed. (MusicWeb) Elizabeth Wallfisch is again the soloist (previously praised as "a most tasteful and elegant player" by 'MusicWeb') and once more she brings the melodious cantilenas to life, whilst concurrently directing the Orfeo Baroque Orchestra.""
