Moments of wonder, wistfulness and elegiac tenderness wrapped in entrancing music. Probably my CD of 2020, heart on the sleeve, hand on the heart.
Early Music Review, David Bellinger, 3 January 2021It is fascinating to discover the incredible richness of Telemann’s creativity. And to marvel at the fact that he is still sometimes disparaged as a composing maniac to the ranks of Bach and Handel. This is the German Art of the Suite at its prime, and equally well performed.
