About
A major musical figure of the 18th-century, in his time, Telemann was more popular than Bach. This master of instrumental music was open to French and Italian influences and to the new galant style that flourished in Germany. Telemann wrote music notable for its considerable panache. This is especially true of his chamber music, a selection of which is offered here on this recording featuring the ensemble La Rêveuse.

Early Music Review February 2015
This has got to be one of my recommendations of the month – flawless playing from all concerned…both in the suavity of sound, the perfect balance and neat interplay between the voices, and the keen sense of drama they bring to Telemann’s outstanding chamber music.
