Description

Naturally Telemann offers some of the composer’s most elegant, ingenious and spirited instrumental music. Two concertos feature the recorder and the transverse flute in novel instrumentations that yield unique combinations of tone. These works are paired with the cantata Seele, lerne dich erkennen for soprano and recorder ensemble, and the Sonata in B flat major for recorders and continuo. Naturally Telemann shows off the composer’s great stylistic range as he adapted his idiom to the times, indeed helped shape the music of a new era.
