GEORG PHILIPP TELEMANN Concertos pour violon. Ouvertures, suites, fantaisie... Isabelle Faust, Akademie für Alte Musik, Berlin, Ute Hartwich, Bernhard Forck
With more than 125 concertos to his credit, Telemann was one of the pioneers of this genre that had flowered in Italy. Combining daring, humour and emotion, he particularly delighted in exploring the virtuosity of the violin, its gift for imitation and its lyricism… Alongside other works of his where the violin also takes centre stage, Isabelle Faust and the Academie für Alte Musik Berlin showcase several jewels from his output of unimagined opulence.
