About

Recorded in the bright acoustics of the Teatro Bibiena in Mantua (“the most beautiful theatre in the world”, according to Leopold Mozart), Zefiro's second release on the Arcana label is devoted to the colourful world of Telemann's Overtures (i.e. Suites).

The three masterworks presented here highlight the unique quality of this versatile ensemble – formed by the oboists Alfredo Bernardini and Paolo Grazzi, and the bassoonist Alberto Grazzi – specialising in eighteenth-century works that give particular prominence to wind instruments.
