The genesis of this album of Ensemble Ventus Iucundus with quartets by Georg Philipp Telemann is due to the idea and initiative of Reinhard Czasch, flutist and teacher for transverse flute and historically informed performance at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna. The great variety of instruments in these quartets, ranging from instruments like transverse flute, recorder or violin to bassoon, oboe and basso continuo shows the proficiency of Telemann’s writing. The beauty of Telemanns oeuvre lying herein is supported splendidly by the historic instruments of the Ensemble Ventus Iucundus.
