About

The five works on our Vol. 8 offer a fascinating cross-section of Telemann's violin concertos from the early creations of the Eisenach period (1708-1712) to the 1730s, when the composer published his Musique de table as a musician highly respected throughout Europe. And the genres and instrumentations on this CD are also varied: concertos for two and three solo violins stand alongside a Violetta double concerto and Telemann's only concerto overture with two solo violins. 'The richness of the compositional and stylistic variants testifies to a composer who constantly reinvented himself, or who did not need to do so because of his great versatility. Another jewel in cpo's Telemann crown.' (klassik.com on Vol. 7) Here, too, the Wallfisch Band convinces with freshness, the best inner ensemble balance and great respect for each other, which results in audibly friendly musical cooperation.

Awards and reviews

April 2023

The concertos for two violins possess attractive features, even if they do not qualify for positions on the highest Parnassian slopes...The Ouverture-Suite in G minor offers the listener a wealth of variety in a sequence featuring a finely sustained Passacaglia. The ornaments and carefully craf ted inf lections demonstrated by these players are a delight. Warmly commended.
